Luke de Castro Assignment 10

It’s the zombie apocalypse, the world is in chaos, and everyone is absolutely terrified. Except me. I have a plan. First of all, the assumptions must be laid out. Zombies would most likely result from a super virus that is only exchanged through biting. If it transmits through other means, humanity would be dying of a deadly plague, which would involve completely different survival strategies than run-of-the-mill zombies.
            With these assumptions in mind, I would have to say that survival in such a situation would be relatively easy. What makes humans special? What makes us the dominant species on this planet? Our intelligence. We aren’t strong, quick, or physically good at anything compared to other animals in this world. We became so advanced because of our creative ideas and analytical thinking. Zombies would simply lack this vital ingredient that made humans so important. Zombies are more physically unfit than humans because of their decaying bodies, and they lack even the most basic intelligence. The only advantage on the side of the zombies are sheer numbers.
            To deprive zombies of their one advantage, I would simply move to a rural area and live in log cabin. The low population density would guarantee my safety and the natural environment could provide the essentials required for living. The mere fact that I thought of this solution shows that us humans have a major advantage over our zombie opponents.
