“How many highways did Neanderthals build? How many rockets did they launch?”

Thats not the point. The point is that the human race is physically becoming weaker and weaker,.

you write: “Thats not the point. The point is that the human race is physically becoming weaker and weaker,.”

That is not the case; it is a case of the weaker & weaker now surviving in a world that has largely been tamed of the danger that decimated earlier peoples.

I believe you're thinking of muscles rather than accomplishments.

Why has the human life expectancy increased so much over the past couple of centuries if we are getting weaker?

Of course. Look at the way a chimpanzee can rip a human apart. The chimp isn’t supernatural. The human is just weaker. Well, then there’s the part about the chimp using its arms for locomotion all day every day. And they don’t fight fair that’s for sure, with a chimp, it’s a street fight from the word go.
