Why Chimps Are Stronger Than Humans

The brutal attack last month by a pet chimpanzee on a Connecticut woman was a stark reminder that chimps are up to four times stronger than humans.
One reason, a new study suggests, is that we pay a price for our fine motor skills.
Humans may lack the strength of chimps — our closest relatives on thetree of evolution — because our nervous systems exert more control over our muscles, says evolutionary biologist Alan Walker, a professor at Penn State University. Our fine motor control prevents great feats of strength, but allows us to perform delicate and uniquely human tasks, Walker writes in the April issue of the journal Current Anthropology.

Walker's hypothesis stems partly from a finding by primatologist Ann MacLarnon, who showed that relative to body mass, chimps have much less gray matter in their spinal cords than humans have. Spinal gray matter contains large numbers of motor neurons — nerves cells that connect to muscle fibers and regulate muscle movement.

Why would less fine motor skill necessarily mean less strength? It's possible there's a tradeoff but the theory isn't convincing. I think it's possible to have both more motor skill and more strength.

Why would less fine motor skill necessarily mean less strength? It's possible there's a tradeoff but the theory isn't convincing. I think it's possible to have both more motor skill and more strength.

that fine motor coordination is possible because of our larger brains.

the energy necessary for the human brain to function, including motor function is probably comparable to the energy necessary to to create and maintain the strength of a chimp.

Brainpower
Although the average adult human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, only 2 percent of total body weight, it demands 20 percent of our resting metabolic rate (RMR)—the total amount of energy our bodies expend in one very lazy day of no activity. RMR varies from person to person depending on age, gender, size and health. If we assume an average resting metabolic rate of 1,300 calories, then the brain consumes 260 of those calories just to keep things in order. That's 10.8 calories every hour or 0.18 calories each minute. (For comparison's sake, see Harvard's table of calories burned during different activities). With a little math, we can convert that number into a measure of power:

—Resting metabolic rate: 1300 kilocalories, or kcal, the kind used in nutrition
—1,300 kcal over 24 hours = 54.16 kcal per hour = 15.04 gram calories per second
—15.04 gram calories/sec = 62.93 joules/sec = about 63 watts
—20 percent of 63 watts = 12.6 watts

So a typical adult human brain runs on around 12 watts—a fifth of the power required by a standard 60 watt lightbulb. Compared with most other organs, the brain is greedy; pitted against man-made electronics, it is astoundingly efficient. IBM's Watson, the supercomputer that defeated Jeopardy! champions, depends on ninety IBM Power 750 servers, each of which requires around one thousand watts.

it's a trade off.

sure we can out think a chimp or any other animal but that comes at a cost...a chimp will fukk....you....up.

The smallest chimp could take down your dad....uncle boo boo...your relative straight from prison...ronnie coleman....arnold schwarzenegger in his prime...and nikkas acting like if all the apes got loose they couldn't take over the world. Gorilla pops out in front of 99.9% of members on here and they aint strapped....straight like this

remember that woman who had her face torn off by a chimp?

i wonder how fast chimps can run

Man where is that giant Jay-Z "are you serious" smiley when you need it

 

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Ya know.. I forgot about those all too commonplace chimp attacks, most notably the one mentioned above by @FaTaL where the woman had her face pulled clean off by the chimp's bare hands.
They also, very regularly, pull off the limbs of their human victims in the midst of these attacks..most commonly the hands.

And those are "just" the chimps..
