But as to the man is superior, due to his strengths. I also agree that "brain" over "brawn" seems to be the best quality to advance. But a bear would send me running. Since I don't carry things to kill bears on most occasions. So the bear would win over me with these odds. It's hard to say how many men lost thier lives trying to figure out hte supremacy in these cases. But, I do think that the "hibernation" that bears go through is a great feat of the species. But, it was probably what meant thier demise. Since man probably figured out that they were "hard to awaken", during the winter months. Otherwise, it would of probably been the bear or the lion that made supreme. That makes me think that it was chance. But also the great human quality of observation that lead to our "supremeness" over the other animal species. Good points though on intelligence over muscle.
