With advanced in material science we are creating artificial muscles so imagine the future potential that could do for are own bodies as well as robotics. I imagine its some physio-chemical reasons also. We do notice the minor differences like attachment point and density but still the strength gap is huge even give these advantages. The honest answer is studying their anatomy we can't fully explain why they are so strong.
#Chimpanzee hand bone vs human hand bone full#
The same scientist who saw this -a normal sized man- had to use both his hands and full strength to snap equal sized branch. I remember reading a 80lb female chimp could snap ironwood tree branches with her fingertips. Pretty cool find, the way their muscles attach to the bone is also a big reason for the increased strength among other reasons. Sometimes life can be surprising, and you really have to see it to believe it. That said, I have never worked in close proximity with chimpanzees, so I may be mistaken. However, based on my evaluation of those bones, I find it unlikely that chimpanzees are as strong as popular culture portrays them. It is hard to fully assess the size because the human bones are oriented differently than all the ape bones. While I concede that at certain activities chimpanzees may be stronger, perhaps significantly stronger, the bones of a chimp and human look to be very close in size to my eye. I have always been skeptical of the "Chimps are _X stronger than a human" claims for the reasons mentioned above. The future of Yori's normal arm is uncertain, but his monkey arm shows distinct orangutan possibilities. That said, I predict a noticeable increase in bone size if Yori stays true to his word and follows Eric's DL advice. Based on Yori's impressive pinch to BW ratio, and the overall strength of his pinch, I suspect his monkey arm has at least chimp sized bones to go with its orangutan length. 'Even if we worked out for 12 hours a day like they do. Eric forgot to mention whether he was talking about Yori's normal arm or his monkey arm. The two species' musculature is extremely similar, but somehow, pound-for-pound, chimps are between two and three times stronger than humans.
