We're slow and we're weak.
We have incredibly thin skin that can be easily damaged.
We cannot tolerate cold temperatures for long and prolonged high temperatures are quickly fatal.
We can't climb, fly, swim, or jump.
The average human being is far slower than a hippopotamus, rhinoceros, or elephant. Bears you can just forget about and any big cat is going to blow by you like a missile. If something is chasing you save your breath because it's going to catch you. You're slower than a warthog for chrissake and I don't even know what a warthog is.
We have big brains. Massive, humongous brains and we're social animals that have learned how to cooperate. That's our advantage.
Given all of this is it any wonder that we're fearful, anxious, neurotic creatures?
