So why, on a pound-for-pound basis, are chimps slightly stronger than humans? The team went on to look at the muscle of chimps that had died of natural causes, which revealed that two-thirds of their muscle consists of fast-twitch fibres, whereas more than half of human fibres are slow-twitch. Fast-twitch fibres are more powerful, but use more energy and become fatigued faster.

Comparing the results with the many studies on those revealed that, contrary to the claims of several other studies, there is nothing special about chimp muscle. “Chimpanzee muscle is really no different than human muscle in terms of the force that individual fibres exert,” says O’Neill.

So, who's ready to step in the cage? I wanna see Miocic or Ngannou vs a Chimp.

"Chimpanzee muscle is really no different than human muscle in terms of the force that individual fibres exert,"

That doesn't mean when the individual fibers are assembled into a complete chimp the resulting chimp isn't able to rip your face off and tear your limbs off much better than you could do that to him.

When I was stationed in the Philippines, there were a lot of very aggressive macaques hanging around the dumpsters and stuff. We had a guy who thought he was some sort of super karate ninja who decided to take one on.

It tore quarter-pound chunks out of him.

Not a Chimpanzee but I watched a full grown adult male Orangutan twist a full sized tire into a figure 8. Those motherfuckers are strong.

Then clearly they use less energy to support themselves in that position.

While they look similar, they have notable difference in the skeletal/muscle structure that caters to their activities.

Tasking a chimp with walking 20mi would easily showcase the difference between a beast whos primary method of transport is bipedal motion vs swinging from branches or using their arms as crutches.

The difference is most humans even when they fight hold back a little. Something in the back of normal human brains says don't hurt another being. Chimps don't give a rip. They are all in from the get go.

It really took until 2021 to figure this out?

Seems like muscle composition is something figured out in the 1800's.

We just did this thread like a month ago

Chimps seemingly smell fear and/or the desire to dominate a weaker opponent (women and elderly men). None of the people with their face ripped off were able-bodied men.

People don't realize that ALL the chimps in movies and on TV are young, 'equivalent' to children. NEVER are adults used, too powerful, unpredictable and vicious.

How about we get a silverback, give them a half a gram of high quality garbanzo chaos crystal and dropping them off at an Antifa rally?

I'll toss in $50 for the research.

When I was in college we visited the primate lab at Holloman Air Force base as part of an anthropology class. The adult chimps were in cages that somewhat resembled human prison cells. I worked for a state prison for eight years. Not once did I see a look of hate in the eyes of a convict that could match what I saw in those chimps' eyes. Saying they looked soul-less like a doll's eyes doesn't begin to describe the creep factor. It was a look that makes your blood run cold enough to shoot that animal on sight with extreme prejudice, for sure.
