Are Animals Superior To Humans?
I argue that humans are animals too, but we are the greatest animal. With such heightened cognitive abilities and considering how we manage to dominate every other living organism on the planet through aggressive hunting or territory expansion, I find the answer to be self-evident; humans kick ass.

Above mentioned reasons will also cause our eventual extinction.

Re: Are Animals Superior To Humans?
Oh, we will. No other animal on earth matches the humans for pure destructiveness. I'm no tree-hugger , but the way we keep on going, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up wiping our asses off of the face of the world through Pollution. Though I am hoping for Nuclear war instead

Re: Are Animals Superior To Humans?
Well if animals were so intelligent then how come they get captured/killed so easily (not counting oil in ocean deaths or super hi-tech advantages just average hunting).

Well there are some GOOD parasites which eat diseases in exchange for staying inyour body. (white blood cell is not a parasite but it EATS diseases). But seriously there are SOME sort of parasites whic STAY.

Creating roads and cars and technollogy, so that we dont need to adapt, so really, our ability to adapt is counter balanced by our ingenouity (yeah, i cant spell, sorry) and our higher intellect, so then does that not confirm that we are in deed the greatest animal?

That's cause we keep taking injections and medication all the time so we don't need to adap. Yes it's for the greater good but your body will only fight what it needs to so if modern medicine does the work then why have adaptable body. Also technology makes people lazy myself included again it is needed but also downside.

Re: Are Animals Superior To Humans?
True, technology IS a double edged sword, but as you said, it is for the greater good. Really, the price, the risk, its worth the reward. At least in my opinion.

Re: Are Animals Superior To Humans?
hmmm
I doubt we will kill ourselfs by pouloution
i'm betting nuclear fusion will be properly working in about the 2040's as for medicine and such thats what might screw us over diseases not mention hmm consult exit mundi for ways we could die but somehow I doubt we will die the most likely will be nuclear war I just hope it doesnt happen in my lifetime
admittedly laughing at a mushroom cloud would be a kickass way to die

Especially if the mushroom cloud looked like this:

Re: Are Animals Superior To Humans?
Humans will end themselves?
Wake up. Do you have any IDEA of the insane amount of species that disappeared up to now? Don't tell me our pollution killed off the dinosaurs, because I'll laugh at you. This is just natural evolution, read some Darwin. You either survive, or you disappear.
