Humans not being as strong as animals but still getting ahead thanks to our way of thinking seems very true to me, its that capability of reasoning that gives us that hedge, if you think about how people continue to solve problems and overcome difficulties it's not because we're the strongest or anything like that but because our minds keep working and finding new ways to solve situations. Seeing how we change things around us with our inventions and how we deal with situations that arise is sometimes surprising, each brain is an entire universe of ideas, all that learning and then having to relearn new things when everything changes shows that we never really stop moving forward, I've always thought that the best thing about being human is that we can turn the script around when things get tough and somehow make it work even when there seems to be no way out.
Exactly, thanks for the summary. The human mind is unmatchable. Apes can be wise, this is true, but no ape can match the intelligence level of any human being. It's the mind, the soul, the spirit and body that gives us a cutting edge.
