- we are capable of ruining the whole planet
- which animals can create a mercedes S class
- which animal does agriculture something we were doing 10000 ears ago
- Just thing of what you do each day, what machines you are using, the technoligies, what factory processed foots we are eating.
- we are creating the animals we want (all dogs are domesticated we created them the way we wanted through artificial selcetion we can do the same thing to chimps or anything elce)
- animals having philosophical lectures in classrooms?
If you reflect on a HUMAN life it is more than extremely different to an animal life. All animals are determined to follow what evolution has built in them. They have to reproduce there is no animal who cognitively decides lets not reproduce because then I can spend more money for myself. Reasoning of humans is capable to behave in an opposite way of what evolution and natural selection has put into us since more then 1500million years ago! We are the first species to do that.

- Is there any other species that can go into space with rockets on other planets?
- From all the billions and billions of species if the world get hit by a comet and gets totally destroyed humans can live out all other animals by going into space (ofc only for a limited period).

- Maybe some monkeys are close to us in a biological perspective e.g. chimpanzees got 99% of our genes, but let me tell you this look at the effect the 1% different DNA has done!!


The bold is the best point here, we are now capable of going further into the future of evolution from something other than sexual attraction. We have the ability to choose our mates from an extremely wide range of qualities. FOR EXAMPLE: Male homo feels great emotional attraction to female homo. Female homo has massive brain and therefore is extremely prosperous in life as well as producing a new line of genius homos. Of course brain capacity would be the lesser of the two and the change would be more geared towards the change in mental state and capabilities.
Our advanced social capabilities is the main reason for our great success. Consider the neanderthal, actually having a greater brain capacity and higher skill in tool making as the humans in their time. I could also assume their physical stature was greater than our own. The difference was they didn't have the same ability to communicate as we did, therefor putting them at a disadvantage for survival techniques. In saying this it would be fun to assume that the next great leap in evolutionary success among other species would be their cooperation with each other through more advanced communication as a means to compete for the lessening resources in our ecosystems. as well as that the only thing I could see that would be better than this is an enhancement of their current abilities like sensory organs and physical and mental capacities.

Ah yeah

dont compare the nowdays people to the animals.


Why not? I thought thats the point of this thread. Nowdays people are humans, in the old days they were monkeys.

Maybe some monkeys evolve and they can create great swords so in that perspective would be similar but that means I would be compared animals future with humans past? Why do that? Why not compare present vs present in species?

yep, a propper tongue is the key to developing intelligence.

we all come from the same origin but that doesnt mean we are the same. Imagine you are extremely intelligent and your sister has down sydrome. Just because you and your sister come from the same hole does this make you both the same.

Uh...yes it does. And that example is horrible. Since you came from the same "hole" it means you both are human. Sure, she may have Down Syndrome and you do not but you both are human. If Evolution says that we evolved from an ape which is an animal then guess what? You are an animal. Your ideology contradicts itself.
First you says that humans are not animals and then you go on to say that we evolved over time over billions of years, from animals of course, and then you conclude that since we have intelligence and "Self-awareness" that does not make us animals. If you believe that humans evolved from apes over millions of years which evolved from other animals millions and millions of years then guess what? Humans are animals based on your thinking.

I would even argue that there are more intelligent animals than us out there.

Stupid rand multi thread is stupid.


If this thread iss stupid then why in fin hell would you bump it way after the discussion was over.
Neways i would give my opinion but theres no point in trying to teach science to an imbecile
