    The silverback gorilla is kind of an outlier amongst apes tbf. Despite the insistence of the Joe Rogans of the world, if you dedicated your life to athletics you be stronger in whatever area you decide to pursue than a chimp. But it would pack a lot of strength into a smaller package, and for that it has “sacrificed” motor control or endurance (Depending on what biologist you ask. I’m not into the science enough to tell you)
