What If Humans Had To Fight For Their Survival?

I've been pondering about this. What if humans had to fight for their survival from another intelligent species and humans eventually overcome this species? What if this happened a million years ago? We would have evolved a lot differently with defensive and offensive body parts, maybe thicker skin or sharper teeth, something to that affect. We probably would have devoloped advanced hearing and sight.

Thoughts?

We would only have had a chance to evolve like that if we had to fight for millions of years. A CHANCE to evolve like that. Even in that scenario, we would probably have used tools like we have learned to now. Humans have a bad design for combat.

So true. Why is the most important organ in the male anatomy placed completely vulnerable on the outside of the body?

Also we did actually fight for our survival with other intelligent species.

However, we developed more effective way to win that arms race. We out-bred them.

We where not designed to fight

but to show compassion, and kindness towards one another.

We are perfectly designed for our earth

The only ability we had to develop in order to become the dominant sentient life form on this planet (supposedly) was to develop a particular trait which I like to call the "darn sneaky human" ability. We are really really good at being 'darn sneaky humans'. you see it time and time again in our fiction and our history.

We were not designed, I wasn't implying we were designed. We have evolved this way probably because we use tools. You don't need a physical form to show kindness and compassion.
