This is just a reminder, Veeky Forums. Hobbits actually existed. Neanderthals were dwarves. And so did elves... they're us.

No Veeky Forums, you are the Savannah elf.

Also check this list. Most primate species live about 20 years, maybe 30.

Compared to them humans are weird super ancient creatures. We typically live to about 80, about four times as long as they live. Four times longer than us would be about 320. That's about how old we'd feel to them.
>Jogging Endurance
Literally every bipedal of the Genus Homo had this.
>Ranged Skill
Ours is basically dogshit, as it requires weeks/months of practice to implement to effectiveness.
>Hairless and Skinny
3rd verse, same as the 1st.
>Weak and easily damaged
Are you high? Everyone was easily damaged, and in that regard weak; yes, Neanderthals had a, at the time, decent capacity to operate while injured, but basically every animal can do that sorta shit for a while.
>Obsessed with Art/Culture
In all likelihood, so was every other intelligent, Sapient, species.
>Breeds Slowly and had a low population density.
No, stupid. Actually, we had/have a pretty decent breeding rate, and our so-called 'low population' was because we were at, or close to, 'optimal density' for our species at the time.
>No Veeky Forums, you are the Savannah elf.
No, OP, it is you who is the faggot; we're the Savannah human, because we literally don't fit into ANY categorization like that so neatly.
>Literally every bipedal of the Genus Homo had this.
We've got the best endurance of any genus homo species, hands down. We could literally run circles around Neanderthals and Hobbits. The only ones that might have matched us were our direct ancestors. We outdo all of our cousin species.
>Ours is basically dogshit, as it requires weeks/months of practice to implement to effectiveness.
With our long lifespan that's not much of an issue, but it's important to remember that we've got shoulders that allow us to easily throw stones. While other primates can throw they have massive issues aiming. We're naturally awesome at ranged combat. Most of our cousins had huge issues with it and couldn't have used, say, and atlatl, one of our earliest ranged weapons.
>3rd verse, same as the 1st.
We're easily one of the weakest primate species out there. Primates are strong as fuck, man. And our hairlessness is also unusual, a product of developing on the Savannah and using persistence hunting to jog prey to death. We deal with endurance under the sun better than basically any other primate.
>Are you high? Everyone was easily damaged, and in that regard weak; yes, Neanderthals had a, at the time, decent capacity to operate while injured, but basically every animal can do that sorta shit for a while.
We're not physically strong, and while every species can deal with damage for a while most of our cousins were better at it than we are. It's a relative measure.
>In all likelihood, so was every other intelligent, Sapient, species.
Neanderthals weren't nearly as obsessed as we are, and no other humanoid species that displayed things like burial really went as far as we did at the time with the decoration.
>No, OP, it is you who is the faggot; we're the Savannah human, because we literally don't fit into ANY categorization like that so neatly.
Relative to our cousins, we do. We don't exist in a vacuum and can be compared to our cousin species.
I dunno, OP, I'm pretty sure I'm some kind of half-ogre.

Nah, Ogres were Gigantopithecus.
Also I just realized the dude in the pic I posted is Christopher Walken
>I've seen you go ape and... you're not monkeying around.
I don't think I really appreciated just how terrifying dire animals were until this point.
Dire apes are scary as shit, man. I don't blame you. They're the size of TALL Space Marines. The tallest human ever to live would be a manlet next to them and they'd still have that crazy ape strength on top of it.
Just wait until you find out that ancient dire eagles used to eat humans by picking them up and carrying them through the air before dropping them. Of course they could also just peck straight through the skull.
There's a reason we hunted them to extinction. When we started as a species we were NOT at the top of the food chain.
Also now extinct: A very clear reminder that birds were once dinosaurs. The Terror Bird. Yes, that was actually their name. They used to be apex predators in South America all the way up to Texas. Just imagine these guys hunting cowboys.
It's not entirely certain when they went extinct, but a lot of people think they went extinct around the time of the arrival of humans. There's little doubt that if they did coexist with humans they probably ate us, and that's most likely why they went extinct.
