After bonobos and chimpanzees, gorillas are the closest relatives to humans, as their DNA has a 98% similarity to that of humans.<\/p>\n<p>They can weigh up to 270 kilogrammes while the average human weighs 62 kilogrammes. They are over nine times stronger than an adult male. Their body weight and incredible strength is built from their higher ratio of muscle mass.<\/p>\n<p>Based on size and muscle mass alone, it is doubtful a silverback can\u2019t knock a hundred humans out in a fight.
