Since OP is a bit daffy, deer, kangaroos have as powerful if not more so, can they do a roundhouse? No but few animals would be able to given that bipedalism isn't common. Then again there are animals that can exert as much force as a fired .22 round and they are smaller than us, so I don't know how OP would interpret those animals in his comparison.

Understandably OP has fallen into a very anthropocentric view on this. I would certainly argue that all species currently existed have evolved methods that justify their current existence that become very hard to compare the second you think about things like how dexterity and strength together allow certain combinations that really make either individual stat not mean a whole lot.

If you really want to think about what makes humans impressive let's go with some neuronal factors like cortical surface area and thickness in proportion to cranial volume, that'd be a neat thing to compare.

Those aren’t kicks those animals do, so their argument’s safe from them.
