sure we are intelligent...i can't deny that...however, we are not the strongest, fastest, biggest, etc...we may be the most intelligent, but even that isn't enough to allow us to be superior...

even a star fish has superiority on us...we cannot live underwater...under the emmense pressure they do...and we certainly cannot regenerate our limbs...we have transplants sure...but if you got your arm loped off you'd bleed to death and even if you did live you'd be left with a stump and major disadvantage...

match anyone of us up with a bear...and ha ha, you're dead...a grizzly is the storngest thing pound for pound...not even the fastest human could out run a cheetah...they can both kill us...so wouldn't that make them superior in that aspect...we are nothing more than food in the african outback...

we were superior at on time but i think that we are too dependent on technology now...sure you could shoot the grizzy or the cheetah...or get in your truck and get away from them...but you couldn't do it on your own...we are on the bottom of the food chain without our high tech gizmos...like i said...our intelligence is all we have...

You are thinking too simply. Man dominated the animals in the African outback with the simplest of tools. Basic logic, reason, the use of fire, built shelter, spears, traps, etc. None of this is 'high tech' though i suppose it once was.
