    If people were Chihuahuas, coyotes would be 25-feet-tall… now that’s something to ponder.

          They already had the ferocity, now they finally have the size! If all canines were scaled up to the point where cyotes were 25 feet taller than us (humans), then how big are chihuahuas compared to us? Are we snack size? Anyone wanna math and visualize that for me or should I use AI?

            Snack, but only if they get a bunch of us at once, much like a solitary peanut isn’t very satisfying.

            For safety, we’d come to live in fortified boxes affixed to their backs, and the distances between each of these chihuahua-mounted citadels would be ever changing as a result.

    Coyotes average at 23 inches tall, and I think most people have similar size dogs or smaller. So really it be 6’-8’ feral humans. I think the punk fashion would be much more popular.

    i imagine that’s much how it felt back when there were multiple human species running around, and clearly including the fact that a lot of people will find them rougishly handsome judging by our genetic record…

    and the fun part? we were probably the strange feral version, since other human species exited africa before we did. Neanderthals lived in europe waaay before homo sapiens did and were thus a fair bit better evolved for the climate.

        I assume this is a reference to the various ethnic groups in the Congo Basin who are notably shorter on average than most humans, such as the Batwa and Bambuti. The different groups are often collectively referred to as “Pygmy peoples”, but I don’t feel super great about the way that sounds
