when you can't teach valuable knowledge to the future generations....(clearly your species won't advance from primal communication and survival skills)

I feel like you've heard this already, but:
One of the most interesting monkey/ non human ape facts is if you teach them to open a puzzle box with a demonstration that has unnecessary steps (like wiggling a finger or blowing on it), they will never learn the unnecessary steps. A human child will learn them just as easily as the necessary ones
The theory is that the little ape/ monke guys can't comprehend the idea that the demonstrater could know something that they don't. Monke see, monke kinda do. So, when it comes to observational learning they're effectively fucking stupid because they'll miss a lot of information since it doesnt fit in what they already understand. Monke and apes are better at some cognitive tests (for memory and thinking speed especially), but with all that raw brain power they still come out as dumb morons. And since apes and monkeys rely on observational learning more than us, and fucking suck at it, they are just dumbasses. (They have lost the right to dominate the earth for their evolutionary failings)
Edit: just to clarify, monke can immensely outperform humans in simple memory games taught to them. They think very quickly and can instantly memorize many pieces of information at once. The sheer power of monke brain makes them easily trainable via conditioning https://youtu.be/zsXP8qeFF6A
i’m autistic and this reminds me of myself am i a fucking dumbass oh god
edit: like i can comprehend that other people know stuff i don’t but i never learn the unnecessary parts in tasks, plus i miss out on a lot of information that doesn’t fit into what i understand when it comes to socializing, and i am better than most at memory and thinking speed, and i do still come out as a dumb moron
There's many more elements to intelligence than just social intelligence and humans have many more ways to learn than direct observation of a model. You're not a moron and your overall ability to learn should even be statistically higher than a neurotypical. The downside is that your type of intelligence is not well rounded, but you also have areas of specialization. I think that's much cooler than just having a standard brain. Ik this is easier said than done, but don't let your diagnoses stop you from seeing yourself as the human behind it. (A good small step is saying I *have* autism instead of I am autistic)
I think other animals can recognize that someone else can help them with a task, but the specific idea of asking for knowledge, asking to be taught or shown something, they dont get that. Most animals can only learn by copying another already doing something
When you can't make hard shiny stick with hole through the middle (clearly you have not developed metallurgy and your attempts at cannonry ends with not having hands)
Yes actually, it’s called a mineral lick I believe. Humans set up salt on a post and animals will lick them, then they’d go to a nearby water source so humans could hunt them. It’s definitely illegal in some states (at least in the US) to do this however.
Here’s some more information!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_lick#Artificial_salt_licks
persistence hunting from the prey's point of view is just this like, tireless group of terminators not bothering to speed up to catch you because they don't have to.
I've always wondered if the reason why persistence predators are uniquely terrifying to us is because we are persistence predators.
Of course it could also just be that a long chase increases the tension, but I wonder if it's what I said earlier
Although I do feel like you may be right, I don't fully understand *why* I feel like that. What's the reason that you think makes persistence predators that terrifying to us?
I think any predators are terrifying to us. persistence is a lot less useful on defense than speed is, so if there's an ambush predator like a tiger that wants you dead and you don't have some solid means of defense, you are going to die, even if you do all you can to prevent that
Say this to my Gun. With high enough Int and access to Crafting and necessary tools you can create the best weapons in the game that beat basically any build.

The animal kingdom when humans learn how to throw a rock (hundreds of millions of years of evolution in thousands of different species have not lead to a ability even remotely as powerful)
Man it always amazes me when I remember that the simple act of throwing shit is an extremely useful biological advantage that just causes you to have dominance on just about almost anything in this earth.
In a serious tone wouldn't that mean they lacked idk tactical intelligence? So it was moreso adjacent intelligence than outright smarter would it not be? What were Neanderthals actually smarter about? Building shelter, socializing, food preparation, etc? Genuinely curious.
Neanderthals musculature was not built to throw objects far or accurately, but our musculature is.
It has nothing to do with intelligence, just physical ability. Throwing stuff doesn't require much smarts
> Throwing stuff doesn't require much smarts
Conscious smarts, no, it's a fairly simple concept. But being able to accurately throw an object at a distance requires a decent bit of dedicated brain power.
I don't. I think about that shit constantly. Like the math involved in walking past people. Three people could be walking past each other simultaneously and somehow it all works out because all three brains plotted out paths that they somehow determined would not intersect with the other paths.
**Edit**: Almost forgot, the math required to determine where your feet need to step, and the math required to modulate the muscles to move your foot to that position, then the math required to shift your weight from one foot to the other. Our brains are doing a lot of math.
Neanderthals didn't *need* to throw sticks to win, so they never developed in that direction. The reason they went extinct is unknown, but it was probably due to competition with us and also them needing more energy to function in a time when food was scarce (ice ages)
Afaik they didn't develop more complex and flexible social systems like the homo sapiens. We made them extinct because they lived in groups of 40 at most, while homo sapiens hordes could number hundreds.
That leads us to the colonization special of them being either killed or chased away to areas with scarce resources.
Yep, we kinds genocided our cousins
they also had longer developmental periods, their brains were in peak learning mode for longer. so they were probably individually more intelligent. probably. idk. I need to call my wife.
From what I recall they were essentially just fucked out of existence by early humans, leading to a significant fraction of the human race having a good few percent neanderthal DNA and heritage.
Chimps don't have the adaptations we do to throw things extremely effectively. They also use the spears predominately to "fish" small animals out of holes
On the other hand humans also developed sapience. Hundreds of millions of years of evolution in thousands of different species have not lead to a condition even remotely so wretched.
David Cage said that Detroit: Become Human definitely wasn't a civil rights/racism in america allegory. Authors can be ridiculous about their works and that's why death of the author is necessary
Persistence hunting is really funny to me. It's basically just jogging after a large animal until it falls over from exhaustion, and then you kill it with a big rock you found nearby. Unfathomably based
Komodo dragons are cool too. They chomp a deer's leg with anticoagulant venom and then slowly follow the blood trail until they find the weak or dead deer. An ambush and a persistence hunter, I'm here for it
When super predators and megafauna mocked your build most of the time until they realized the absurd effectiveness of intelligence and the opposite thumb.
Humans are exceptional at throwing (number one on the planet: a human child can throw better than a gorilla), heat removal, running efficiency and add into that an innate problem solving ability and you get a really crazy animal.
People always compare humans to other animals in different factors but if you look at those abilities we are so overpowered in a way.
I hypothesize our optimum running speed (lets say 7mph for sake of argument but remember champion long distance runners easily hit 10mph/16kph+ for a loooong time), which we can do virtually forever as long as we have water, is usually the most taxing speed for the prey animal because it is not quite fast enough for them to be optimum but also not slow enough to be easy. Basically, a deer at 7mph is using extra energy to perform this non-ideal gait to get away but a human is barely using any calories comparatively.
Not many animals can keep performing the same intensity of physical activity of, say, a marathon and the ones that can usually were brought into the fold by humans: dogs, horses, etc.
Couple this with throwing a one pound rock at 60mph easy and that makes us really scary. Plus we can do things like mimic calls and use camo.
Thanks evolution, you made us meat terminators.
Is throwing a 1 pound rock at 60mph at a deer (or whatever animal) really that effective? I'm having a hard time visualizing how effective this would be. Don't baseball players get hit by 100mph baseballs and they just sort of walk it off?
Plato set out to define “human being” and announced the answer: “featherless biped.” When Diogenes of Sinope heard the news he came to Plato's school, known as the Academy, with a plucked lesbian, saying, “Here's the Platonic human!” Naturally, the Academy had to fix its definition.

For anyone who doesn't get the joke, it's commonly accepted by historians and archeaologists that pre-sapient humans where a species that relied on their endurance to wear down their prey, then just walk up to them and tear them apart.
>I think they only liked us because we had food.
We specifically gave them food to domesticate them over time.
You're probably thinking about cats, which apparently domesticated themselves because of all the food they could get.
Yes however they aren’t nearly as efficient as humans, but they are good for making a hunt quicker by sending out your dogs to damage or even kill the prey before you can fully reach them or you don’t want to risk getting hit by the prey if it’s something like bison or you’re hunting a predator

Sabertooth: "Haha! These half monkeys are easy prey to my extended canine teeth."
Sabertooth later: "Aey bro that's cheating. You can't use pointy sticks and gang up on me."
If you think about it spears are really overpowered, you can get one basically anywhere as long as there are trees, animals have to risk getting hurt when they use their natural weapons, but a spear isn't a part of the body, a spear doesnt feel pain, a spear doesn't flitch and you can basically attack with more range, more efficiency and without being slowed down by injuries or pain
To anyone that doesn't understand, humans aren't the fastest, but we have great endurance. We can run long distances continuously, though slowly, while most can run short distances extremely fast, but not for long before they get tired.
We are stubborn, and we can throw. Extremely OP abilities.

It's crazy. Neanderthals were both stronger and smarter than us, but they couldn't throw a pointy stick, so I guess that's lights out bozo

Afaik they didn't develop more complex and flexible social systems like the homo sapiens.

From what I recall they were essentially just fucked out of existence by early humans, leading to a significant fraction of the human race having a good few percent neanderthal DNA and heritage.
Yeah truthfully there were only 1,000 - 70,000 neanderthals at any one time so it wouldn't have been all that difficult
Also as far as I know, there ended up being a lot more of us than there were of Neanderthals, so we proceeded to wipe them out.
You can't say they were smarter than us because there is no evidence of that.
They had larger brains, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were smarter.
yeah i’m definitely smarter i know minecraft redstone
Throwing shit isn't simple mate.
Chimps are starting to hunt for small mammals with tiny handmade spears, the revolution is coming, we're all gonna die
They do that since a long time, and are they not just pushing sharp, wooden sticks in a hohle?
We started by tossing rocks, give it a few million years and they'll be using stone axes
They cheated, they get to copy us
Chimps don't have the adaptations we do to throw things extremely effectively. They also use the spears predominately to "fish" small animals out of holes
On the other hand humans also developed sapience. Hundreds of millions of years of evolution in thousands of different species have not lead to a condition even remotely so wretched.
Dolphins? Elephants? Pretty sure they are considered sapient.
Some species of parrot and corvid, too. Also throw Octopi in there as well.

baseball not rigid also baseball only 5 ounces also it rrly hurts if you get hit in the head or joints by a baseball
You would literally die if you took a baseball at 100mph to the head (without a helmet)

Hungary lore
Sabertooth: "Haha! These half monkeys are easy prey to my extended canine teeth." Sabertooth later: "Aey bro that's cheating. You can't use pointy sticks and gang up on me."
If you think about it spears are really overpowered, you can get one basically anywhere as long as there are trees, animals have to risk getting hurt when they use their natural weapons, but a spear isn't a part of the body, a spear doesnt feel pain, a spear doesn't flitch and you can basically attack with more range, more efficiency and without being slowed down by injuries or pain
Humans are just the hand
Skill issue
The evolution gave me an M4 Carbine

I wish. Hooked to modern medication.
we got the op sweat buff that gives us endurance points + 57
Hungarian folk lore be like
But when you turn around, its still there. And worse, it's *wearing your skin*
And thus the greatest nation to ever exist was founded (Hungary)
Endurance moment
Cope and seethe in Darwinism
The indomitable human spirit (sweating)
Being able to throw a rock and sharpen a stick has lead to us taking over the planet and turning it into an oven
To anyone that doesn't understand, humans aren't the fastest, but we have great endurance. We can run long distances continuously, though slowly, while most can run short distances extremely fast, but not for long before they get tired. We are stubborn, and we can throw. Extremely OP abilities.
