In a sci fi setting, what advantages do you think humans would have over other intelligent species which came from diffirent evolutionary paths?
To break the "heavily adaptable average xd" trope, here are a few ideas ive had:
1. we are simply stronger because our planet is in the higher end of the inhabitable scale
2. we dont get tired at all by other species standards. Compared to earth biology, we can easily beat every single life form on earth in a marathon without even struggling. We can outpace horses so long as we keep walking.
3. we have insane spatial awareness thanks to our monkey ancestry compared to other earth animals. Perhaps other races need targeting computers, or perhaps we are the only race who can use effective snipers, as balistics could outrange EM weapons which would be common among races who cant compensate with ballistic trajectory.
4. perhaps we are more resiliant. Most animals die of shock once they lose a limb, perhaps aliens are the same, and humans have a freakish survival rate.
throw some ideas in here, maybe put together a human standard, perhaps most effective combat meathod.
