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.

This would, of course, change if said gorilla had to sit at a desk for 40 hours a week.

I mean... The zoo gorillas were looking pretty jacked the last time I saw them.
