Who Go Win: 100 Men vs 1 Gorilla? Na Real Wahala!

Abuja, Nigeria — The question dey trend for social media: who go win for fight wey involve 100 average men against one adult male gorilla? Dis topic don take over platforms like TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram, as people share their thoughts on dis wild hypothetical scenario.

Some people dey argue say humans don hunt big animals like mammoths before, so dem fit win. Others, however, highlight say sre gorilla fit lift up to 1,000 kilograms and go throw some men like rag dolls. Professor Renaud Joannes-Boyau, wey sabi geochronology and geochemistry, no fit help but join di debate as im talk say human strength dey for wit and teamwork, even if we no get di same brute force as gorillas.

“Na wetin we for learn from gorillas be say, strength no be only physical,” Joannes-Boyau talk. “We don trade physical strength for our ability to network and cooperate for large groups, and dis no easy feat.”

Dis question dey open up chance for us to reflect on human evolution. What wey be our real strength? Wetin we don sacrifice? Gorillas na close relatives of humans, and dem belong to di same family of great apes alongside chimpanzees and bonobos. Di common ancestor of humans and gorillas don waka this earth for about 10 million years ago.

No be only humans wey get better brains, but di gorilla na animal wey get explosive power. Adult male silverback gorillas fit weigh more than 160kg and fit move 1 tonne without any gym workout. Their muscle structure leads to powerful strength wey help dem excel for their environment.

Yet, gorillas na gentle giants, dey mostly calm except when dem dey protect dia families. Dem fit use different vocalizations and gestures to communicate with each other. While some people dey fan fight theories, experts dey emphasize say gorillas prefer to avoid any conflict. “A silverback gorilla go only fight when him dey protect him family,” Ron Magill, wildlife conservationist, talk. “Gorillas usually avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary.”

For practical matter, Magill reason say 100 determined men fit overpower one gorilla if dem dey united. “But na die fighting wey we dey talk about. Dem go face severe injuries coming their way, including possible deaths,” he warn.

Michelle Rodrigues, a primatologist, stress say gorillas no dey naturally aggressive, and dem no dey even fight when dem dey outnumbered. “A gorilla wey dey alone no go even want to enter any fight,” she emphasize. E get plenty statistics wey show say humans fit work together to take down a large animal, provided dem strategize well.

As both sides still dey argue about who go fit win for this odd showdown, we fit agree say this fight no be one wey should happen. “Humans fit come together to do wonderful things, but gorillas just wan enjoy dia lives,” Cat Hobaiter, primatologist talk. “Gorillas dey relax, play, and live simple lives without worrying about any fight with humans.”

Na true say dis question shed light on di differences and similarities wey exist between humans and gorillas, and how both species don evolve in di different methods to adapt to di environment wey dem dey live for.
