how come humans evolved into the literal jack of all trades we are today?
>>
>>2477260
We're not really a jack-of-all-trade at all. Obviously, we have the most intelligence (by quite some margin), and we're also quite good endurance runners where most large mammals are focused on short sprints. We also have very good color vision.
Similarly, opposable thumbs are basically the tightest shit ever.
>>
>>2477260
We're actually pretty excelent at lot of things like swimming (compared to most mammals), our only weak spot is fighting without man-made tools.

In any case superior intelligence is overpowered.
>>
>>2477260
ancient apes realized that they could pwn most other animals by outsmarting them and adapting the enviroment to themselves
>>
Intelligence is literally the only reason we're the dominant species.
>>
>>2477263
saying humans aren't good at fighting without man made tools is like saying bears aren't good at fighting without bear grown teeth and claws and retard strength
>>
>>2477270
>burgers actually believe it
>>
>>2477345
If we equate a sword to claws, taking away the sword would still have man's physical strength. If we take a way the bear's claws, the bear is still going to have its retard strength and bust open your skull like a cherry.

Corvids are better jack of all trades than humans.

It's a well know fact that MELANIN is and always will be a gateway material used to access the vast secrets and energies of the cosmos. Only those who posses the inherit MELANIN traits are able to do this. That's why my ancestors who basically invented civilisation were able to so so because through their ability to access the universe they were able to change their profession at will. A doctor could become a carpenter. A mason could become king.

That's tho white colonization we are slowly losing this ability as those whom lack the melanin gene are sending advanced civilisation back thousands of years.

Memetic information works faster than genetic information, that coupled with the ability to take hold of things at varying scales, and the ability to travel distances made us very good at not dying.

can you prove that we are more intelligent than dolphins?
>>
>>2477667
>any dolphin smarter than me please type your response now on the internet
>.......
>(no dolphin response)
>QED

>>2477667
what does it matter who is more intelligent, we put our intelligence to use making art, building wonders and exploring the cosmos while they do flips for us at seaworld

the bigger question is, will any other species ever evolve to have just as a high IQ or even more?
>>
>>2477717
yes, AI.

I think Humans developed better muscle control and appliable strength restrictions to better utilize tools.
>>
>>2477752
humans max INT and DEX

>>2477717
Chimps could, under the right conditions itd probably take upwards of 5 million years. Other great apes too, but a lot of those have gone back to being primarily herbivores and will probably just get dumber. Dolphins and killer whales are probably about as smart as they'll get just because they're so far from developing the capacity to use tools.

Octopuses are a big maybe. They're very clever and one could see them evolving in the direction of tool use and greater intelligence under proper conditions. They have a lot of roadblocks in the way of intelligence evolution though, as they lay large clutches of eggs, don't care for their young, are not particularly social, and have very short lives.

Pfft yeah ok anon whatever you say :P

How do you know that im not a dolphin?
>>
>>2477778
Octopuses already use tools

true, but they aren't social and don't care for their young and live very short lives
>>
>>2477260
Pretty obvious
