@apeprof: Who would win in a fight? Man vs chimpanzee, a primatologist weighs in. Correction: I should have said that fists are “a“ primary weapon, not “the” primary weapon. An analysis of human kicking and grappling is key but that’s for a later video. Clarification: this video details the biology of several chimp advantages, but I don’t say that this conclusively means chimps would win, nor that this MMA fighter would lose. Folks missed this. Science is about using data to make predictions, and the more specific the scenario, the harder it is to get certainty. Be wary of anyone who says they know for sure what would happen, but regardless a fun opportunity to talk about the behavior and biology of an amazing animal and one of our closest relatives. #chimpanzee #Science #evolution #fight #combat

The number one advantage a human has over a chimp is a big brain that should allow us to know when we shouldn't fight an animal that will rip our faces off. Not engaging in a fight with a chimp is the number one way to avoid losing to a chimp.

These guys think they’re fighting Mike Tyson. This is NOT hand to hand combat. A chimp will skin you with its teeth.

we got a literal expert on this subject (he has a phd in anthropology) explaining how we are at a disadvantage to chimps and somehow there are still men who try to argue against this😭✌️

people have trouble fighting off dog attacks, now imagine if the dog had 4 hands to hold onto you while mauling you 😭 some people really need to watch wildlife documentaries more

All this and you didn’t even mention the insane bite force! One bite from a chimp to a hand/foot/arm/leg and I don’t think a human is fighting through that level of pain. And those locations are best case scenario. A bite to the neck/face and it’s over even quicker..

This guy clearly doesn’t know how to fight. I would never use punching to take out a monkey I’m grappling and choking it out

Everyone’s tough, until they see pieces of themselves pulled off. That does something to a person.

while I'm sure that its possible for some select humans to take out a chimpanzee, it's highly unlikely. humans evolved to use endurance and tools and our brains. pound for pound, we are usually outmatched

If a man truly thinks he can win this fight, I think we should let him try.

i would expect any human punch or kick is just gifting the chimpanzee with access to an extended extremity for bites and grips. like, you're not getting that limb back

Bruh dogs kill people; what possibly makes him think he could take down a chimpanzee that can literally rip faces off
