Ha. Nice. What is interesting about that scenario is the human would be loading up on protein (probably meat based diet) and working hard to gain that, and the gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because.

gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because they metabolize different kinds of protein MUCH more effectively than humans do and also are much more physically active than the average human

Fixed it for you.

But what if the gorillas stopped sitting around and actually worked to build muscle mass? We've never actually seen a gorilla that was trying to get as big and as strong as he could.
