To explore the hot topic of why humans didn't evolve aggressive organs, we need to first understand the nature of evolution.

ree

Evolution is not the random production of certain organs, but over a long period of environmental adaptation and selection, organisms gradually develop the characteristics most suitable for survival.


Humans did not evolve sharp teeth and claws like animals, but developed intelligence and the ability to cooperate.



Imagine if humans also had aggressive organs, maybe we wouldn't rely on intelligence and solidarity as much as we do now.


However, it is this intelligence and solidarity that allows humans to create tools, build houses, and communicate that are far more powerful than mere offensive organs.


Humans, as creatures, are not born with the ability to walk, or even to crawl, but only to cry.

ree

Our juvenile period is quite long, taking more than ten years to mature, which is quite slow compared to other animals.


Babies are more likely to cry in a relatively safe environment because it can attract attention from adults, a study suggests.



However, when they are picked up and moved, they subconsciously realize that they may be avoiding danger, and they calm down.


If we didn't have to worry about survival, adult human males could basically beat tigers.

Of course, even if a human is bitten, there are many other ways to respond to an attack as long as the neck and eyes are protected.


When humans mastered the use of tools, the evolution of aggressive organs became unnecessary.


For example, even if a human had a mutation like rhino horn or venom-squirting, it would be replaced by throwing weapons.


Tools have evolved far faster than organisms, making offensive organs almost redundant.

ree

In the face of large animals, ancient humans often used the technique of attacking the spine of the back with the elbow, which was an effective form of self-defense.


And the muscles of the human chest, built primarily for throwing rather than flying, give us a big advantage when attacking at close range.


Humans can use a variety of means to cope with different situations, such as grabbing, throwing and other movements are irresistible to many animals.

ree

From the animal's point of view, humans use tools just like wizards, can attack and set traps, with great lethality.

Moreover, when humans pick up tools, it means that the evolution of aggressive organs will become irrelevant.


Although it's possible for someone to have bone growths like antlers or turtle shells, this evolution doesn't make much sense for humans.


In general, aggressive organs are not the most suitable choice in human evolution, because we are better at using intelligence and cooperation to solve problems.

ree

These capabilities have enabled us to create great civilizations and solve complex challenges.


So even though we don't have sharp teeth and claws, we do have intelligence and unity, and that's the real advantage of being human.
