    Yeah, chimps are stronger than humans but not in this mystical magical way that people think they are. A human could rip someone's face off too if they exercised all day and had the disposition to do it.

        I don't think so. From what I've read, human muscles and chimp muscles are mostly the same just with different compositions.

          Except the old jaws. We gave up jaw muscles for more brainspace.

          Yeah ok you're right. They have 67% fast-twitch fibres according to https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1619071114
