So this probably isn't what you had expected, but this gave me huge inspiration to make a map for a TTRPG game based on a desert region with many cave/temple/dungeons along a steep rocky region rising out of the desert bordering one side. Split up into smaller maps the group wouldn't have much idea of the larger terrain until they explore more and more and eventually they figure out that a massive titan had fallen here and the areas they've been exploring are actually made within the now turned rock remains of the titan. Essentially your image here is the satellite image with desert on the right leading up to it.

Idk, seems like a neat nugget of an idea for me to explore

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.

Would you like any more shovels for that hole, OP?
