there's a very good reason why humans absolutely dominate every animal on earth - our intelligence

Gonna have to slight disagree on this one. I've always found out ability to organize and communicate in generalist situations to be far more valuable than individual intelligence (though that's also nothing to shrug at compared to other animals).

Naw, part of me is wondering if you'd be more likely to succeed in a 1-on-1 with the knife or a 3-on-1 unarmed. I still can't think of a good strategy, but I feel like wed stand a better chance that just any one of us out there.
