Endurance hunting is an option for any pretador with more endurance than their prey.

(Moreover, humans don't need to hunt: we're omnivores, not carnivores.)

The poison restance thing was a rebuttal to your argumant that our only advantadge was intelligence and tools.
 (btw we can resist many nutritious poisons, which is usefull) also other advantadges include that we have greater resistance to shock (as in the mental aspect of trauma not elctricity.)

How did you rebutte when you neither supported nor denied that other animals have tolerances in other poisons greater and less than humans? Moreover, when did I say that was our only advantage? I said that those were the only ones we needed to dominate.


Humans aren't the worst in everything to everyone, but not being the worst isn't an inherent advantage. There are things we can consume that others can't, but it works the other way around as well: we can't eat grass, nor can we eat a wide range of poisonous snakes and animals. That the same applies to other animals (can eat things we can't, can't eat things we can) isn't an advantage/disadvantage of being bipedal, it's a natural outcome of evolution.

finaly your horse argumant is flawed, presumably i would be chasing you, therfore to beat me you used a horse which is outsmarting me (btw i think that's the first time i think i've used someone outsmarting me to try and win an arguement.)

But since the only difference between me on the horse and the horse itself is intelligence (and decreased capability on the horse's part), why is a bipedal form superior to a quadrapedal form when the decisive factor in the matchup is intelligence, which is not innately sacrificed in any alien evolution argument? Yes, the bipedal form can outwalk the horse, but the horse doesn't need to walk.

I've come to the conclusion that the alien races are psychologically same to humans and with the same average IQ. Same mental behavior, just different body forms. Oddly.

Salarians may talk a bit faster, and asari may have more life experience by living 1000 years, but that's it. Turian honor is only a cultural and not a racial thing.

If you all want a look at a scientifically constructed alien world, with realistically designed aliens, populated by some of the scientists who would be the real xenobiologists if we ever found extra-terrestrial life, and the best SF Writers, try here. http://www.eponaproj...Epona_Home.html I was just a little late to get onboard with this experiment when it launched several years ago.
There are concepts of Life development that will be Universal solutions - like fur and feather evolvong to keep beings warm, and Parochial, which mean local to that particular world. If I remember rightly elephant trunks and giraffe necks are parochial, meaning an answer that developed here, but is unlikely on another world. I'm interested as I am an SF writer myself.
Enjoy.

You have some hits but mostly misses here.

It's just a game, it's not a hyperrealistic space exploration simulator, otherwise it would take 3 hours to maneuver the hover tank into the Normandy docking clamps and Commander Shepard would have to take a dump once or twice a day and would probably spend the first 5 hours of the game going over Cerberus human resources packets and trying to broadband his Alliance pension over to Cerberus. Fun!

Turians are germans. Duty and tradition and honor and teamwork. Brits dont have that like germany had.
Asari are more like what we westerners want us to think how we are gonna evolve. All peace love and understanding.
Humans- Srsly if the alliance were to imitate americans then why dont i see like 90% fat/dumb ppl everywhere?
salarians- the stereotypical scientist. Be in einstein or da vince.
vorcha- slavic ppl. cheap labour and generally no effective leadership.
hanar- hippies. religious hippies.
quarians- yea, gypsies..

It's explained in the Codex, regarding ideal BMI, and no, not 90% in the States, that is not accurate.

It's because Shepard can have sex with humanoid aliens, which, in the end, is what the fans want. Variety in their boning. If there were more aliens like the hanar and rachni, there would be less things to romance.

Well that's BioWare fans for you. I don't complain as long as it makes a overall better game though.

Also: Wow, we have some generalisations out of the ordinary in this thread. But let's remember that real life politics do not belong in these forums for a good reason.

Right I know endurence hunting as an option for anyone with more endurence but we have the highest endurence of any terrestrial animal, and also many humans hunt because in many areas plants are still harder to digest, not as nutritious and more poisonous that and some people just wont eat their greens.
You've stated

"In fact, bipedal is actually a structurally poor form: physically, humans suck in pretty much every category to everyone else. We just evolved the digits and the brains to develop supperior tools to overcome those weaknesses." sounds like you were saying that intellect and tool use were our only advantadge.

The decisive part of that may be intelligence but a quadraped would have a hard time compotently riding a horse i'd imagine

and the poison resisitance thing is based on the idea that of all recorded events were we have ingested something the percentage of them being poisonous is lower than most mammals and even most vertebrates

Something wrong with romancing hanar and rachni? They are intelligent.

Are you sure you know what sex is? I mean, the physical limitations...where would you put it?

I am sure it can work if you into that stuff.
