Can you think of any amazing traits or abilities the human body is capable of?

I mean compared to other animals. Cheetahs are fast. A kiwi bird lays a massive egg relative to it's body size. Some frogs being able to secrete toxins as a deterrent to being eaten.

Besides brain power, human beings are relatively squishy.

I'd say the written and spoken intricacy of our language is pretty incredible.

The way we're managed to pass ideas and intellect along over generations to build what we have today

Terrible as it is

@caccoon okay I'll give that to you, though I would have Included that with the brain aspect.

But developing this over thousands of years is pretty cool

@caPnAhab just our written history and use of art is pretty impressive

I realise that relates to intellect.

Physically, we wouldn't be the strongest. Of course.

@caccoon as far as physicality goes, I read humans are built for running endurance rather than running speed.

For example: a hunter can't outrun a gazelle but can catch up to it after it tires out.
