Well, faunus are literally the exact same as humans except for their animal features. Saying that "man has a mental advantage" is pointless since faunus just as likely have the same brain biology as a human, and will match a human if given an equal opportunity to learn. Additionally, many animal traits such as nightvision, sharper teeth, tails (for balance), etc.. definetely have advantages, and these would outnumber the disadvantagous traits.

If you're looking at a societal perspective, then yes, humans have the advantage because of greater numbers and access to resources. But on an individual scale, the faunus have the advantage.

Point is, if you had a war with 1000 humans against 1000 faunus, both with equal access to resources, education and training, the faunus would have the upper hand.
