Comment on How to become the king

Aimed accuracy of throwing things, high level detailed communication and social interaction, that same vocal range means we can imitate animal sounds to trick them into running off cliffs, can literally run animals to death, very high level intelligence allowing planning and tool use.
One or two of these would make us an op apex predator.

That’s where the high level of communication and society comes in. Not every individual needs to be great at all of it.

Ah yes, I can totally do that, too.

None of us have needed to be able to do any of that for quite a while. We’ve found far easier ways to survive, thanks to that advanced communication you mentioned.
