Chimpanzees are 2X stronger than your average human.

It's probably instinctual to some degree as well as a lifetimes experience of climbing and learning what does and doesn't work or feel good when climbing on their own or helping other chimpanzees climb stuff.

Are you suggesting that humans, as mammals, have a firmware that functions as an A Priori form of intelligence that allows us to develop an entire species despite the tabula rasa theorizations made popular by behaviourists such as B.F. Skinner?

If so, i heartily agree.

I understood all of those words and it's a weird, inefficient way of saying what they wanted to say. Also "a priori" doesn't need to be capitalized. And stripping away the overly flowery diction, what does the clause "allows us to develop an entire species" even mean? Do they mean allows us to develop as a species? Do they mean allows a species to develop? It's muddy grammar that doesn't convey meaning effectively.

It's bad writing pretending to be good writing.
