Reply to comment by Xiccarph in Do you think you could beat a chimpanzee? by Hour_Spend1678

No, but ive also never heard about sane people biting the face off crackheads. That doesnt mean crackheads possess some superhuman fighting ability, or that normal people couldnt bite the face off crackheads.

Are the lack of stories of humans killing chimps in unarmed combat because they couldn’t, or because thats just not something normal humans do?

Recall hearing a zookeeper on a podcast a while back mention he was once attacked by an adolescent chimp and he “beat it” enough for it to stop trying to attack him. But #1 who knows if thats true and #2 even if so it was claimed to be an adolescent

Never having faced a chimp myself I can only related what I have read about, and I have read enough to convince me that I would not attempt to fight a chimp and would discourage anyone attempting to do so. If you decide to go for it let us know how it turns out for you.
