So, where did this view that humans were lesser ever come in. The fact
that humans are bred and trained to completely ignore all senses but their
sight is not something that has / had to be the case. People are capable
of some very impressive stuff. The human is a very capable hunting machine
without all sorts of tools. Admittedly, it is not designed to hunt large
animals... On the other hand, pit a tiger (why tigers by the by? there
are certainly beast which could outhunt a tiger) and a tick against each
other and find out who outhunts the other first. I guarantee that the tick
strikes first blood... ;-) But the point is that a skill factor
(especially in killing) depends upon the scale which is being referred
to... Humans are very adept at killing meals which are a great meal size
for them.... (fish come to mind immediately) basically what i am saying is
that if you take away a human's technology base, they are still very adept
at killing just on a different scale than a tiger. on the other hand i
think there can be no question that humans with thecnology are the most
efficient killing machine ever, (this includes viruses and bacteria) and i
would say this was manifested in the atomic bomb and its descendants...
