Why are our fellow great apes so fucking fit yet naturally humans are meh unless we really take the time to work out?
>>
They have to survive in a jungle,
they face the threat of violent death daily.
Literally survival of the fittest.
We have netflix and mcdonalds.
>>
They live completely different lives. I can't remember the last time I had to snap a fresh branch in two with my own hands just to use to catch ants to eat. Or the last time I fought another male just to fuck a female. Or had to climb using my upper body only to get to safety to sleep for the night

it's called evolution, Darwin

They don't have fine object manipulation.
They have a shit ton more tendon strength.
They have an "alpha male" system that results in sexual dymorphism and an evolutionary arms race among males to be more naturally brolic.

Myostatin.

It's relatively easy for humans to get into good shape.

The problem is that we do so many "unnatural" things...like sitting at a desk for 8 hours or watching tv or texting or writing..

If you did none of that and lived "like an animal" you would be in pretty good shape.

>>39897427
Chimps are adapted to swinging around and climbing trees, humans are adapted to running around and making small, precise movements to effectively use tools. Mass isn't necessary for humans to thrive whereas chimps need to be dench just for day to day tree swinging

>brolic
As in "like Broly"?
>>
>>39897427
because a chimp needs strength to move around and fuck up threats

humans are developed in way to make a spear chug it at some big ass animal to wound it then casually jog after the animal until it dies of starvation

kek I thought this too

>why does a creature which does pullups 10 hours a day have big arms

Gee I wonder
>>
>>39897427

Literally millions of years of evolution to suit different envrionments.

Also the fact that for at least a few thousand years strength has not been essential to reproduce for humans and at this point is completely irrelevant. So all the garbage strength genes are getting through just fine.

Humans are getting weaker, it's been oberved that our generation is weaker than the last.

>>39899874
10 hrs a day for pull ups would not give you big arms
>>
>>39900130
what about piano man he works his arms for 8 hours and has massive bicep and tricep
>>
>>39897489
this imagine how /fit/ our ancestors were, no modern medicine, no technology, everything had to be done by sweat they were truly physically superior
>>
Manlet gains.

>>39901074
Yeah no shit we are devolving
Back then a poor farmer who lived on bread and water was bigger, stronger and probably more intelligent than most people in this board
