My dad said no human alive could beat a gorrilla in a fight but some humans can defeat chimpanzees.

Do you think my dad is right?

They may beat humans in a fist fight, but humans can obliterate their habitat and drive their whole species to extinction.

Humans can also shoot gorillas with guns & mount their heads on walls.

pound for pound chimps are much stronger than us, it would be very hard to beat an aggressive chimp hand to hand.



quite an extreme

Human are apes too. :wink:
The hands of humans is different to that of chimps in the way that humans can form a fist and can do fist fighting. But chimps are quite fast, really strong and would start to bite and it's surely not as easy to fight adult males.
