Humans Greatest Strength

          As many may know, humans are far superior to all other organisms on Earth.  What may be the cause of this?  The answer is very simple and the key to our greatest strength; the high sophistication of our intelligent minds.  As compared to all other organisms, humans have a greater understanding of all things and a much better handle on the ideally way of survival.  Long ago before humans, the biggest strength lied in brutality.  The leaders were always the strongest organism.  Humans have evolved to not be brutally dominant, but sophisticatedly dominant. 
            I believe that our strength in this world is our minds.  Without them, we would not be at the top of the food chain.  We have developed technology that puts us up there.  Without this technology, we would not be able to defend ourselves on an animal attack.   Our bodies physically are much inferior to that of animals.  Most organisms have defense mechanisms or fatal teeth and jaws.  Our bodies are not fit to live in the wild, due to years of evolution, we have become lazy and thus in no need of any defensive or offensive mechanisms.  We would only be able to pick things up with our thumbs but we won’t be able to stand a brutal attack.
           Since we are equipped with a mind, we have made tools, first simple tools like that of a sword or a plow, to advanced things, like the computer you are on right now, to the internet that is bringing you to my blog.  Our minds are so advanced that we are far above anything that an organism on Earth would ever become.   
            Intelligence is an important thing because although you may not be able to stand an attack on you, you would still be able to find ways of capturing food, or surviving a long winter, or even the chemistry to make a fire.  Strong predators that could kill us in a naked cage match (like that lion about to destroy the guy) do not have the intelligence to survive a long and harsh winter, or to create a fire to keep warm.  Animals can only do one thing, like fly or swim or run, but humans have mastered all of these traits with their minds.  We were able to put together an automobile that can go faster than any animal. Submarines and ships that can take us over and under the vast oceans, and we have even invented a huge machine that can be lifted off of the ground, even under our intense atmosphere’s gravitational pull.  These machines can fly for hours.  Obviously our mind and intelligence is the greatest strength of humans.
