Joe Rogan has often shown an interest in human evolution. Starting with theories about extraterrestrial life forms helping mankind to evolve, to marveling at the creations of men, Rogan’s fascination was indeed limitless. However, they were all linked to one fact. Humans are not the strongest species in nature in terms of bone and muscle. 

In the recent episode of the JRE, the beloved UFC color commentator along with his guest, Sal Vulcano, conversed about a lot of things. One of those topics of discussion was the life of humans in the old times. The podcaster was left wondering how a race so weak took over the entire world. Without any further adieu, let’s dive right into Rogan’s speculations.

Joe Rogan calls humans ‘weak’

In episode #2159 of the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’, the 56-year-old podcaster sat down together with Vulcano, the executive producer of ‘Impractical Jokers’. Although the duo conversed about a lot of things, the early life of humans was one topic that left Rogan in deep wonder. He exclaimed that the Homo sapiens are extremely weak. “Godd**n we’re so weak! We’re so f***ing weak! Like how much different were we back then? We’re so f***ing….!”

In order to protect themselves from the dangers of nature, humans have developed weapons and walls. But the JRE host kept wondering about the time before humans had the safety of their houses and the reliability of a handy weapon. Without a doubt, humans could not compete with the other physically stronger species pouncing around the world. Rogan even claimed that someone as strong as Islam Makhachev could not face the wrath of nature. Needless to say, the color commentator has often praised the lightweight champ as one of the greatest fighters in the UFC. But this time, even Makhachev fell short.

Rogan said, “I can’t imagine us without the houses and the weapons. Like how did we even make it that far, and how much of a change was it once we developed the houses and the weapons? Because we, we are so b***h a**, like as an animal. Even if you’re fit and in shape, if you’re, even if like, you’re a UFC fighter. You’re like Islam Makhachev.” 

The famed podcaster continued his thoughts on the life humans would have led in natural conditions without houses and weapons. He wondered how early man survived in the wild without any stronger species devouring him. Nevertheless, he was truly fascinated at how far mankind has come. This is not the first time Rogan discussed the evolution of man. In his previous conversations, the former Fear Factor host pointed out that aliens might have helped humans evolve.

How would human evolution look from the perspective of an advanced species?

During a talk with Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan talked about the scientists helping the chimpanzees to evolve with the help of technology. The 56-year-old wondered if the same was true for humans. He talked from the perspective of an alien species that is far more advanced than humans. 

Rogan thoughtfully said, “If I was an advanced species, and I was studying people and I wanted the human beings to eventually kind of catch up, right? You’re introducing technology that they call donations, crash vehicles. ‘Figure out what fiber optics are. Here you go, check this out.’”

The JRE host understood that it would take ages, but the acceleration of evolution would be significant. However, it would indeed turn the world upside down with humans far more superior than what they are now. But all in all, Rogan’s claim about the human species being weak as compared to other physically strong animals still held true.

What do you think of what Rogan said? How do you think humans survived back when they didn’t have access to houses or weapons? Let us know in the comments down below.
