This is actually a big one. Also, animals are more predisposed to retreat than humans. One good snoot bap and this hungry lion will re-think its life choices.

an overhead head strike or side swipe of a solid club can 100% zone out even a lion

But now the human's arm race is literally starting. What beats throwing rock? Well we can hold something up and block the rock. Also we can put small rock into leather strap and throw rock WAY harder and more accurate. But this dude started wearing this thick animal skin and now our rocks don't hurt as much. So we started making them sharp. Eventually someone learned how to make a spring from a branch with a string so now we launch rocks on sticks. This is getting out of hand.

>ability to use weapons
yes, this in combination with the actual killer:
>as well as social coordination with other members of my species
are what make humans indomitable
one ape with a spear is fairly dangerous, but 20 apes with spears and rocks and a trap and isolation tactics and fire and decades of practiced coordination means literally no animal stands a chance against humans collectively
if a predator sneaks up on a village and kills a few people, the humans will remember this act, track it through blood and prints and destroy it; most of the time the human policy is to destroy and and all predators they can find, even before they strike

Who do people insist on fighting head-on when there are options for sneak attacks or just avoid the fight. Most animals try to avoid a fair fight if they can because getting injured is something that they can't afford.

A cave lion 95% of the time is winning this fight, only way the fella with a club is doing anything is if he has 3 of his friends with him.

Africa, sadly a park in a dungheap like India and they used to be in parts of Turkey and the Middle-east in the 21st century. I'd say reintroduce them and cull the dysgenics from these nations but that would be too "extreme."

>>
>>740856752
a wolf can go from a standstill to a 2.5 meter dash and pounce in half a second. I bet a lion is even faster.
Hitting a bonk on the head in such a situation is basically 100% luck
>>
>>740857687
they aren't really, only the one charge attack they do with basically 0.1 sec telegraph is difficult. Otherwise their actual hitboxes aren't that bad. They just seem bad because the bear is thrashing around and shaking the screen

>>740857751

Hate what they did to the current meta.
>>
>>740860797
Modern humans might struggle with it, but back then humans were a lot more able of snap decisions
Everything was deadly
I'd say that if you were not ambushed by one, and had a lion in your sights as it advanced at you, back then, you could realistically get a 1/10 chance of bonking it with your stick once it charges at you
Humans were simply more attuned to this sort of stuff, even if we were never able to be full-on predators
Bonus points for also having a sharpened long stick instead of a club, so that the animal gets impaled by its own weight
>>
>>740864943
Sharp stick is the meta premodern weapon against aggressive animals. Hold it between you and the animal, and the animal can't do shit unless it has an extreme size advantage.

Gorillas are even worse than chimps at throwing, we simply dominated this meta. And we improved it by a tenfold even in early days.
>The main adaptations that occurred were at the shoulder blade, which retracted around the torso (moving backwards towards the spinal column) to allow a wider arc of shoulder rotation. This allows the modern human to throw at velocities in excess of 90mph. The next fastest thrower is the chimpanzee at a pedestrian 20mph. It really is a remarkable feat and something that sets us apart from our primate relatives.

Actually he used DEX for both ranged combat (nature doesn't do well with this in general) and spears (less ranged combat)
His INT to craft the weapons
And his endurance/stamina maxxing to out last his animal enemies.

STR was average at best and gets mogged by many animals.
Movement speed is shit as well, not even average compared to most animals.
DEX would be too but humans get hands and those have unparalleled scaling with DEX and with an INT multiplier added to the roll as well.
Not to mention hands give access to the tool crafting tree which is beyond busted
