i do see your point and i agree with alot of what you're saying, but i disagree with the fact that uniqueness, even in an arrogant way, would damage our society. Embracing difference is a good thing. Its just as important as embracing others differences.
The same reason a cheetah wouldn't wanna be called a cat. Cuz being a cheetah is kinda freakin cool. I think being a human is kinda cool. I am an ape, technically, but I'm a human, litterally.
First, I'm still laughing from the homo ignoramus. Secondly, because I am different. My ancestors are scottish, but I don't call my self a Scott, because I'm an American. My even more ancient ancestors were apes, do I still have to classify myself as an ape? Though, technically, I am an ape, why...
you're not listening, I'm not above anything, but i can still be different. I am still different and if you read more closely it says complex. meaning not a stick to get ants out of a hole and these are not the only differences. And i escape it just fine. Our similarities don't make us one, they...
I am special. As is every other living creature that's ever been on this planet. It feels like you have to prove to everyone that "YOU'RE A MONKEY!" Why do i have to be non-unique just because we're evolutionary brothers.
you left a few things out. The use of complex tools and multiple forms of communication. Greater ability to calculate and multiple perspective thinking, which if you ask me are kind of big differences.
non homo sapiens. I think most people us the term ape as a description for what is commonly referred to as monkey. I wouldn't call myself a monkey, therefore I wouldn't call myself an ape.I would however call my self a person, human or homo sapiens, which, when used in that context means wise or...
We don't like it because its not plausible. We see adaptation every day in even the most complicated organisms. We've seen evolution even in as short a time as a couple hundred years in humans. There is scientific evidence, there is half life dating, there is constant mutation recorded every...
Every body seems to be pulling away from the actual point here. We are not apes. We are homo sapiens. Our evolution or adaptation or whatever you want to call it, is a branch off a path. The same path that primapes branched off of; and every other living organism to ever step foot, fin or belly...
