    Outsmarting and outlasting is a real advantage: We are the apex predator (to our own detriment of course, but don’t sell humans short we’re some scary-ass apes when you get down to it).

      not in the context of the question… sure our outsmating/outlasting certainly offsets and overwhelms any talon, claws, fangs, venom nature can throw at us… but the context here is a mano a mano fight

          I would assume that, the term “fight” implies a more direct combat… Not a scenario where we can plan for traps and such

          If I ask you in person if you’d beat me in a fight? You wouldn’t think of a scenario where we both come home and make a master plan to ruin each other… It would be more like “let’s go or the parking lot and beat each other like monkeys”

          It’s just the scenario I imagined from the question

            You say that like people don’t improvise on the spot; many are very, very good at it.

            …or maybe I have some pocket sand!

            SHASHASHA! POCKET SAND!
