"Most Dangerous Animal Human", how true is that...

[BWX]

Hell yeah, top of the food chain- top of every chain.

Brains = power. Humans are infinitely more powerful that any animal... except under certain one on one situations of course -but only stupid humans get into those.

I'm smart enough to invent a gun, therefore I win.

Who invented steel? Or a cage? Humans-- We ARE the top of the food chain.. I'm talking in very literal terms here. Not theoretical "if we didn't invent guns" Because we did-- See what I mean?



EDIT-

also-- the cage I invented could also keep all the lions in the world OUT - and keep me safe.


EDIT again-

Also, who threw me in the pit with lion? Not other lions.. Humans, therfore Humans win again, the human killed me, not the lion..
