HAMSTERDAM THROWS HARD

845

There are a lot of reasons that humans are different from the other great apes, reasons that we have come to dominate the planet. But among my favorites is this fact: my son that turned 3 just yesterday throws a baseball harder than any of our ape relatives. A full grown chimp, all 90 pounds of muscle and fury, can't top 20mph on the speed gun. Gorillas do even worse. http://cashp.columbian.gwu.edu/neil-t-roach-evolution-throwing
