100 Human vs. A Gorilla.
Lissmore: A strange question on the Internet is in discussion these days, who will win in a lawless fight between 100 average men and an adult male gorilla? This question is overshadowed on Redit, Tickets, YouTube and Instagram. Some people say that humans hunted a huge mammath, then they will win. At the same time, some believe that the silverback gorilla can lift up to 1000 kg weight and can bounce a person very easily. This question may seem funny, but it gives us a chance to think about the strength, weakness and development of humans and gorillas. Let us understand from experts what will happen in this fight and what are the features of both species.
Humans and gorillas are close relatives
Gorillas are one of the closest relatives of humans. Gorillas with Chimpanzee, Bonobo and Orangutan are also part of the Hominide family. Chimpanzee’s DNA gets 98.8% from humans, while Gorilla’s 98.4%. The last shared ancestor of humans and gorillas was about 1 million years ago, which was also an ancestor of Chimpanzee. After this, both species selected different routes. Gorillas developed to live in dense forests and hilly areas, while humans started living in open fields and many atmosphere. Nevertheless, both have many similarities, such as the use of thumb, facial expressions, complex social behavior and emotional understanding.
Gorilla is the unconscious king of the forest
The reign of the gorilla is on the entire forest. An adult male silverback gorilla weighs over 160 kg and can lift up to 1 ton. The strength of his upper body is surprising. This strength came from the competition between male gorillas, where the powerful male pair with the female. Gorillas are very strong and tolerant, but most of the time remains calm. These intelligent creatures communicate far and wide by beating different voices, gestures and chests. They can learn symbolic language, mourn for their dead and show sympathy to others, which reflect their intelligence.
Man has ruled on the strength of his mind
Many humans may lose in the battle of men and a gorilla without a weapon, but if humans are exempted, they can definitely beat them using weapons, strategy, drones, fire and cunning. Humans are not as strong as physically gorillas. Our real strength is our adaptation ability and ability to work together in large groups. The brain of humans is 3 times larger than the brain of Gorilla. This development gave us the ability to increase abstract thinking, symbolic language and knowledge to generations. This is our biggest strength.
Gorilla’s social group usually consists of some families or at least 30 members, but humans can work together with millions of people. Humans chose social, cultural and technical complexity instead of strength, which made us the most versatile and dangerous species of the earth.
So who will win in the battle of both?
If humans and gorillas face face to face and without any weapon, then the chances of victory of Gorilla are very high. There is no match of gorillas in the battle of strength and empty hands. But humans fight cleverly. They will finally win with weapons, strategy and technology. Human beings have gained the ability to settle in every continent, all kinds of areas and climate. We changed the ecosystem, stepped to the moon and developed advanced technology. But Gorilla is also the winner in his own way. They symbolize harmony, physical beauty and calm strength with their environment.
What is the real lesson of this comparison?
The answer to this question is not who will win. The real lesson is that humans and gorillas, who are close to each other, elected two different avenues of development. Both are a great creation of nature in their own way. Gorilla teaches us to coordinate with our strength, peace and environment, while the story of a human being is of adaptation, cooperation and innovation. This debate reminds us that nature has made every species unique, and both are winners in their own way. (The Conversion)
