So we have gone soft...?
Any truth to this?

Yes, but how many of those ancients got to experience the unique pain of peeing on an electric fence?

Riiiiiiggggghhhhttttt. That is why I have watched football players go from an average of the mid 250’s for linemen to the upper 300’s and benching 400-500 lbs. People are getting bigger, not smaller.

Let’s for a moment say this is accurate, that we’re pathetic weaklings. So what? Everyone already knows other animals are bigger, fiercer, faster, and stronger than us. We could never whoop a bear or chase down a wolf.
What’s special about us, and what makes us the lords of all creation and the mightiest beings yet born to earth, is our brains. If a neaderthal woman could out arm-wrestle me, so be it. I could just shoot her and be done with it. Who’s that man now? Who outlasted who?

Could a Roman soldier punch a bullet? I don’t think so.

I agree with you. There’s no way I am buying any of this bovine scatology. Let’s go back to the 1850s, with frontier people and mountain folk in the hills of Tennessee and N. Carolina making their living off the land just as I imagine Neanderthals doing; these people were lean mean fighting machines not muscle bound behemoths.
This is just headline grabbing nonsense. Arnold at his peak could have snapped these people like twigs.

In a way yes. Brain power is much more important than brawn in modern society. Lots of diseases and chronic conditions that killed people in the past have been vaccaniated against, treatable or manageable. The human race has elminiated nature’s sieves for eliminating the weak, diseased and those with poor constitutions.

I don't have the exact quote, but the comedian Gallagher once noted that our ancestors were not the big hulking cave men that went out to battle dinosaurs with a club. Our ancestors were the quick little f***s than made it back to the cave.
