The human being is actually a pathetic animal. We don't have sharp teeth or sharp talons for hunting, we don't have wings and we don't have fur for warmth, amirite?

but we do have knifes for hunting, we have guns, we have planes, and we have clothes.

Humans don´t have those, those exist separately. The animal alone has nothing but skin and pubic hair.

Did we shave our eyebrows in honor of Mona Lisa?

What? I wasn´t being literal by the way, skin and pubic hair wouldn´t have been able to develop thus far, with technology and whatnots.

So?

So it´s nothing special?

The fur on animals isn't pubic.

Well you don't say. Thanks, mate, I never would've known that.

And we have a brain!! Isn't that what distinguishes us from animals in the first place??

I like how the three other people below this that pointed out this fact all got positive scores.

That may be, but our intelligence makes up for us being so soft.

It's them opposable thumbs.

We weren't designed for any of those things. If a worm needed scales, they'd have them. Humans have their mind, and that's what makes us superior to those animals.

Thank you. At least someone has the insight to look beyond our physical capabilities.

We do have some physical capabilities. As _jojo_ mentioned below me, we're bipedal. Also, humans are the best distance runners on the planet.

We can stand upright!

So can meerkats.

True, but it's still an adaptation that most four-legged animals do not have. We can stand for long periods of time and while we are moving which allows us to use our hands at all times.

And when we get butt hurt over someone having more then us, some of us feel the need to destroy and hurt others because of it. Because we're jealous and selfish animals who can't accept that's how life is. We strive for power and forget about the beautiful things in life.

Despite that, we are at the top of the food chain. So no, we are not a pathetic species.

We don't need fur, seeing as humans originated in Africa, where it was really hot - hence why we sweat a lot. We never needed sharp teeth or claws, even before knife and such, because we were pack animals.

we are like naked mole rats!

But we have thumbs and brains bigger than a walnut which allow us to overcome all the listed obstacles
