Go look up the results of chimp attacks on humans (even fat, unhealthy chimps in captivity), if you can stomach it. Then come back and tell me a human being just 10% stronger than me is capable of ripping my literal face off with their bare hands.
so i read a thing by a guy that handles chimps and got attacked by one and he said that 'if you think for a second, o no i dont wanna hurt this animal, you are gonna lose your face. if you think, MURDER MURDER MURDER from the onset of the attack, you will win against a chimp just because of your height'
he basically was saying that if you dont immediately go as savage and insane as the chimp is you are at an extreme disadvantage
I think a certain level of aggression comes with being in "I am going to end the existence of this thing" mode. I am considerably weaker than some people but am confident in my ability to rip their face off if you flick that switch.
Chimps probably flick that switch very easily on top of being ridiculously strong.
I get what you're saying, and it's probably true that our hesitation towards aggression and brutality comes into play, but still think this is only part of the story.
Sure, if pressed to the limit/a life-death situation, a weakling like me can do serious damage to just about anyone, but I cannot physically rip someone's face off. And neither can you, and neither can a bodybuilder/strongman. Chimps are built different than us, and so are most animals.

Yeh, sure a chimp might “only” be 10% stronger, but it has special moves like “bite your face off” that we can’t even dream of
