  There's something about watching other primates interact with screens that just feels so uncanny. It's an almost humbling experience, seeing how much they look like us tapping and scrolling. The only difference seems to be that we think we understand more of what we're looking at on the screen... but do we really?

    > Do we really? Yes. We do. Significantly more. It’s our only power. We aren’t stronger or faster or more vicious, we cannot fly or breed dozens of humans at a time or puke honey. We can’t swim the ocean depths or swing through the trees. But we sure can think, understand and create. For better or worse. I’m all for not underestimating animals. They are sentient like us. But not at the cost of dismissing the human animal.

      We have very good color eyesight, are unusually flexible when it comes to weather, are pretty omnivorous and disease resistant, and we're absolutely unbeatable endurance runners. IIRC we actually smell as well as dogs too, if we get down to floor level.

        Don't forget being able to throw accurately.
