Review
Humans have always called themselves higher animals, and we have many advantages over wild beasts, such as developed intelligence, and the ability to make and use tools.
But there are some places where we are far inferior, for example, compared to large carnivores, we do not have a strong bite force, nor do we have the physical strength to engage in hand-to-hand combat with them, and even many creatures can make and release venom, which are quite deadly weapons for humans.
Why, then, have human beings, who claim to be the spirits of all things, not evolved any organs that could be called "weapons"?
Born Weapon
In nature, there are a lot of animals that have amazing aggressive organs that they can use to hunt prey, or to protect themselves from enemies. These organs vary in form and function, but they all reflect the evolutionary intelligence and adaptability of animals.
For example, the tigers we are familiar with, like kittens, they also have sharp claws, but the lethality is much more terrifying than that of domestic cats.
Felines can hide their claws to avoid damage and wear and tear, and to reduce noise when walking. But as soon as the tiger needs to attack or defend itself, they can quickly extend their claws and release powerful attack power.
These claw tips are curved and sharp, easily penetrating the skin and muscles of their prey, causing fatal wounds that bleed the prey. Claws can also tear at the flesh of prey, or grab the neck of the prey, causing suffocation or fractured vertebrae.
Their claws are supported by strong muscles and ligaments, and when they swing, they also release tremendous force, which can also cause fractures or internal injuries if they hit the head or body of their prey.
In addition, the claws can be used to grab prey, preventing them from escaping or fighting back. If you have been scratched by a cat, you must understand the horror of this weapon.
Then there's the fangs of venomous snakes, which fold back at any time and hide in the bones of the upper jaw so they don't hurt themselves or waste venom.
But when snakes need to attack, they can quickly pop their fangs out and stab their prey or enemies fiercely. Through a tube connected to the venom gland, the venom is injected into the other person's body.
Venom of venomous snakes comes in a variety of types, including circulating toxins, neurotoxins, mixed toxins, and cytotoxins, which can have various effects on their prey.
Some cause hemorrhage, coagulation, hemolysis, shock, some paralyze, paralysis, respiratory failure of the prey, and others cause necrosis, ulceration, and infection.
Equally frightening is the crocodile's mouth. A crocodile can have a bite force of up to 1,600 kilograms, which is 40 times that of humans. It can easily bite off the bones and organs of its prey, causing fatal damage.
Their mouths have about 80 sharp teeth, which, combined with their special move, Death Rolling, can easily tear apart the human body of almost any living creature on Earth.
Aren't humans attacking organs?
Why haven't humans evolved similar aggressive organs? Are humans just weak creatures that don't have any aggression?
This is not the case. Although humans do not possess organs such as claws and venom like other animals, we have other strengths and abilities that make us a unique species in nature.
First, let's look at the evolutionary direction of humanity. Our ancestors were arboreal and relied primarily on their hands and feet to climb and gather food, rather than relying on teeth and claws to hunt or defend themselves.
As a result, the hands and feet of our ancestors became more and more agile and agile, but the need for fangs and claws became lower and lower, so they did not evolve in this direction.
Humans are also omnivores, and in ancient times, they mainly fed on plants and insects, or hunted small animals for meat, rather than eating meat exclusively.
As a result, the teeth of our ancestors evolved to be suitable for chewing and digesting a variety of foods, rather than for biting and killing prey. Humans, on the other hand, are social creatures and rely primarily on cooperation and communication to cope with various difficulties, rather than solving problems through violence and competition. As a result, the human brain is becoming more and more developed without over-intensifying the development of physical strength.
The human body structure is already in fact an extremely powerful weapon. We have an upright body structure that allows us to walk and run on two legs instead of crawling and jumping on all fours.
This body structure conserves energy during exercise, regulates body temperature, improves vision and balance, and frees up hands to make and use tools.
Humans have two hands to grasp and throw objects, and in nature, throwing this attack can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack for beasts, but after the invention of firearms, humans rarely use this attack method anymore.
Dexterous hands also allow humans to use weapons to improve their offensive capabilities, and can also fully exploit objects in the environment to protect themselves.
Our mouths can bite and digest food, and we can also produce speech and sounds, allowing humans to adapt to diverse food sources, meet nutritional needs, communicate effectively, and improve survival and teamwork skills.
The structure and function of the human body allows us to be highly adaptable and thrive in a variety of complex environments, rather than being confined to a specific environment or food.
We can innovate in difficult situations, without being bound by the right way. In the face of challenges and dangers, humans use their brains to think and solve problems, rather than blindly following instinctive reactions.
The lack of attack organs is not a sign of human weakness, on the contrary, we are one of the most adapted, creative, and intelligent species on the planet. With intelligence and creativity, we transcend the limitations of our bodies in order to become the masters of this planet in the long process of evolution.
epilogue
In the long history of mankind, we have not survived with sharp teeth or sharp claws, but through unity, learning and Xi and innovation, we have achieved a unique civilization.
So, even though we don't have the aggressive organs of animals, it is this innate intelligence and unique ability that makes humans unique on Earth and exhibits the highest level of evolution.
