    A group of fit humans who know what they’re doing can kill any animal on earth with sharp sticks.

    This includes things like whales and woolly mammoths, which we hunted to near extinction or complete extinction using pointy sticks. Keep in mind that these animals were not only thousands of times stronger than a human, but the environments in which they lived were also completely alien to the one we evolved in. The ocean and the taiga can kill an unprepared human in just a few minutes simply by them existing in it, while the native animals are perfectly adapted to live there.

    And despite all that we went onto their home turf and killed them all with pointy sticks.

      We’re great at what we do, it’s true.

      That’s despite all of our weaknesses. And there’s a lot of them.
