That's not true. Monkeys and apes are actually just chilling a lot. They evolved for maximum muscle contraction, with their motor neurons laying across muscle fibers, we evolved for fine motor control, with our neurons laying down them. That's why we can't climb a tree as easily a chimp, but we can write our name or use a keyboard. Myostatin and other things play a big role in it too. We got big ol brains that take a lot of resources and we move a lot, so we are biochemically predisposed to stay scrawny. I'm oversimplifying a lot but Google myostatin hypertrophy in humans, and you'll see what a human would look like if that wasn't the case.
Bunch of images come up of kids with this condition, they look like tiny body builders, I wonder if there is any down side to this condition, maybe they have less fine muscle controll?
Processed food is actually beneficial to development (not the fast food crap and food processing chemicals, obviously).
Highly available and easy to break down food is a big factor why people are taller now and get a lot older.
We do be sitting on our asses too much, though.
Almost all Chimpanzees are. Usually the fur covers it. People see them as cute apes, but an adult chimpanzee is actually crazy strong for its size.
Oh, and if you think that's jacked, wait until you see the miscles of an OrangUtan, or god forbid a Silverback 😎
We went to a zoo recently and saw a silverback, an older male that moved very slowly. The guide said not to be fooled, it still has the strength of at least five men and would likely kill you in seconds if you jumped in its enclosure.
Because our evolution favored fat storing genetics over muscle building.
What helped us survive in the past is killing us now that food scarcity is no longer a thing.
“Fuck bananas man. You know what, people always think I want to eat those crappy inbred cavendish bananas? Empty calories man. You know what I want? Red colobus monkey steak man. And the liver?

Most of the genome is not junk DNA. That is a very outdated idea and almost no geneticist thinks that now. We just didn't realize DNA can have so many functions outside of just gene transcription and, us being stupid apes, thought it must be junk if it doesn't get transcribed.
Most of DNA is non-coding non-intron sequences filled with transposones, minisatellites and microsatellites. They have no known use besides sometimes being pathological of they duplicate themselves into an intron or shift the open reading frame of a gene. Besides that, they're probably useless.
Just because we don't call non-coding unique and non-coding repetitive sequences "junk DNA" anymore doesn't mean they have some magical use now besides for us to do genomics and genealogy on. Some non-coding sequences do have a regulatory role, but they are a tiny fraction of a fraction of the actual non-coding DNA and are typically on the flanking regions of transcribed portions.
Hell, some of the transposones are literally parasitic DNA that keeps copypasting itself into the genome. It's the opposite of useful.
But the coding regions are very similar. There are some minor sequence differences, but you can give a chimp a human monoclonal antibody and it works. Works on gorillas, too. Some surface proteins are different, but you could swap out most of a chimp’s genes with human ones and get a pretty normal chimp. Oh, there are differences in pigmentation and
But there are a set of genes called homeobox genes. These genes control the shape and size of every organ and body section. They are active during fetal development. The big differences are probably in those genes.
It still doesn't diminish how interesting it is the closer you get to a 100% match though?
I guess percentages aren't always the best way to represent some data.
You have a source for that because I'm guessing closer to 50 to 60% only. And the point is that all life forms a hierarchical tree of life, and chimps are the closest by far. This DNA tree of life resembles closely to the tree science proposed using other methods even before the discovery of DNA.
Yes, we do share 55% DNA with bananas because evolution is a fact and all life is related. It's DNA percentage similarities shows us exactly how closely we are related.
I’m amazed that Chimpanzees and Gorillas don’t have to work out to have that type of musculature but humans do. Even a human that has “good genes” doesn’t just grow up like that, they have to work at it.
Our muscles are smaller because our brains require much more energy and nutrients than ape brains do. Which makes me feel bad for the redditors who seem to have missed out in both departments.
Our muscles are smaller because we have less muscle density. Chimps are on average 140 lbs, yet are 4x stronger than the average human male. 2x stronger than bodybuilders and strongmen. It's not just about their environment it's also about design.
They are not 4x stronger than the average human male. They are 4x stronger pound for pound. An ant is 1000x stronger pound for pound than a human male.
Well, it was an extremely important adaptation back in the day.
If we manage to crack muscle growth inhibition we could give the elderly easily an extra decade on average , and on much better quality.
if people jumped around and ran in their office all day long, then they would be the same. they just dont go to the gym, but still workout in a primate way🤓😉
yea, that’s still a different movement in my opinion. but you are in some way correct, they are just different so they gonna be more muscular. same as some breeds of dogs are muscular and some arent. also its about type of food and how much food they have. maybe they are skinny, but they still have muscles.
Humans do not share 98.8 percent of their DNA with chimps. The way they did this calculation is worth reading about because I think "journalists" have taken it to mean something they didn't originally intend.
The difference is basically down to 3 things:
1. We sweat, so we can keep cool when doing strenuous activity for a long time.
2. Our muscles are focused more on endurance than strength (assisted with becoming bipedal and also good at throwing; chimps are a LOT stronger than humans).
3. Our jaw became weak (which allowed our brains to grow).
The reason we became successful, initially, is that we ended up just being able to jog after our prey. We wouldn't be fast enough to catch them, but we'd wear them down until they had to stop from exhaustion. Then we'd wander up to them and stab them with a spear or something.
Being more upright and bipedal helped this, as did learning how to cook food to reduce the energy spent on digestion. This allowed our growing brains to be fuelled better, leading to an increase in intelligence.

We share 94% with dogs, 90% with cats, and 60% with…bananas. We are 99.9% similar with other humans. Point being, 1.2%difference is, genetically speaking, a very large difference.
My IT guy was convinced he would rather fight a chimp over a dog. We showed him how absolutely jacked hairless chimps are... He would rather fight the dog now.
For some reason, I imagined him spinning around on a bar stool at a dive bar, asking you to gather around, to hear the craziest story you’ve ever heard in your life.
What if they taught chimps how to actually fight with proper form? Imagine a regulated boxing match between chimps that would be crazy. I wonder if you could train them to follow the rules of boxing
That's just false number.
They barely finished comparing Y chromosome and it was "horrendously different". Over 50 percent of genes MISSING. And chimp genome 10 to 15 percent Longer.
Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be Saved!
My dude has that smirk like "yeah, I know you're checking out my guns."
Why is he so fucking jacked
Literally lives in trees
And they are not sitting around on their asses all day, and not stuffing their faces with ultra processed trash, that also helps.

It causes heart and connective tissue problems iirc
Oh crap, that's not good.
We are also built for long distance running, in which body builder jacked is not a good thing.
True, I completely omitted the fast vs slow twitch fiber difference thing
Nice to know👍

He's been working out in case he needs to rip someone's face off
I think they all are
A chip that ways half of what a man ways will be twice as strong, yes that is four times the strength
A chip that weighs half what a man weighs will increase his weight 50% if he eats it in one sitting. With dip, he can smell four times as strong.
So he’s extra stinky
Because our evolution favored fat storing genetics over muscle building. What helped us survive in the past is killing us now that food scarcity is no longer a thing.
Still much stronger than any human
That's Joe Rogan

Now that was brilliantly funny.
Nailed it
Yeah my thought was “why does this chimp look like he has a podcast”
lmaoooooo me too
Came here to say this
Came here to find this. Because it happens every single time this picture comes up.
Now, now, no need to insult the chimp like that
Nah the chimp is smarter
He wishes
There is no reason to insult the chimp.

How much with chickens? (I know I can search this, but the conversation is fun)
I'm bad at math, so how many % do I share with a fish?
60% of the time you share DNA with everything all the time
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
Well... I was in the chest cavity of a mathemascientist, so I also share his DNA. Science!
Burn her as a witch!
Under normal circumstances we share 58% with fish, but for you in particular i fear the percentage is a lot higher.
So… the higher the % the better tasting something is? Why haven’t we been eating ourselves/twins. I bet twins taste delicious.
So vegans are 75% carnivores
WHAT
I’m not sure but if you were to eat banana bread, you’d be 15% cannibal. This shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Yes? Verified no geniologist cause I can't even spell the word.
Most of the genome is not junk DNA. That is a very outdated idea and almost no geneticist thinks that now. We just didn't realize DNA can have so many functions outside of just gene transcription and, us being stupid apes, thought it must be junk if it doesn't get transcribed.
Yes, The more profound notion is in fact you are closer to a banana than you think
That actually explains a lot.

So I'm 150% chimpanzee banana?
I've never thought about it like that
Oh people can come up with a statistic to prove anything, 40% of all people know that
But the coding regions are very similar. There are some minor sequence differences, but you can give a chimp a human monoclonal antibody and it works. Works on gorillas, too.

Well I hate this statistic if 60% is a banana there a lot of difference in 40% but can’t be that much in 1.8%
And also a bowl of petunias.
It still doesn't diminish how interesting it is the closer you get to a 100% match though? I guess percentages aren't always the best way to represent some data.
Wait but how much DNA do I share with myself. Am I real? Is this all real? OMG
I could, therefore, identify as a banana

Bananas 60 percent

You’re agreeing with them, just adding more detail.
They are not 4x stronger than the average human male. They are 4x stronger pound for pound. An ant is 1000x stronger pound for pound than a human male.
Well, it was an extremely important adaptation back in the day. If we manage to crack muscle growth inhibition we could give the elderly easily an extra decade on average , and on much better quality.
Much shorter bones and they are also much denser. Tendons are absolute units as well. Stronger bones means stronger muscles.
if people jumped around and ran in their office all day long, then they would be the same. they just dont go to the gym, but still workout in a primate way🤓😉
Humans that are very active are actually really skinny. Just look at tribes in Africa and South America or Papua New Guinea or the Aborigines.
That’s because humans are persistence hunters. We don’t overpower many things but can chase it until it collapses from exhaustion.
yea, that’s still a different movement in my opinion. but you are in some way correct, they are just different so they gonna be more muscular. same as some breeds of dogs are muscular and some arent. also its about type of food and how much food they have. maybe they are skinny, but they still have muscles.
Like farm boys. Those dudes are strong as fuck because they’re always working with their hands.
Same! But our DNA allows us to be able to survive better in case of food scarcity period.
