Seeing the recent Planet of the Apes Movies advertised, I wondered about the reality of Humans vs Smart Apes.

Absurb as it is LOL

I havent seen all the movies, but from memory they show Apes using their physical advantages vs Humans that have no tech or weapons.

But Humans clearly have some physical advantages over other apes.

I think most apes would fuck you up in direct 1on1 combat without weapons.

Which is why our evolved ability to fashion and use weapons is such an advantage. Though if you start out on open terrain outside of sprinting range no other primate can catch you. Which is why we left the trees.
