Yup!  We're number one!  :)  Go humans.  

Man is not designed to kill, he is designed to dominate.  Cobras are
designed to kill.  We have no claws, no venom, no speed, no strength.
What we _do_ have is intelligence (and opposable thumbs).  Intelligence
can be used to design killing methods, but is not itself designed to
kill.
