RW:As I understand it, this is not the case.Tests of throwing accuracy have put chimpanzees' typical error in feet
in the same ballpark as humans' typical error in inches. (Some of this is mechanical - the arrangement of bones and muscles in the human arm trades off some strength for accuracy - but some of it is neural.)
Yes.Just wanted to second this. Humans have not only the greatest brains but are the greatest all-round athletes (although presumably chimps don't practise throwing activities?) - and the two, I would argue, are interdependent - which is an important truth for AGI too. I'd be interested to see more research in this connection about our athleticism.
