A link or a reference.

Good that you can write similar to other humans.

Thank you. Thus the term chicken scratch!

Anyone who downgrades the uniqueness of human life, is no friend of mine.

No one is downgrading the uniqueness of man just that asserting the uniqueness of all life.

 

[Bear Wild]

...Seriously. I wouldn't even let you into my home.

Seriously?

You need a reference for what whales eat? Or for zooplankton?

Aha, so it's zooplankton and not zooklampton.
Thanks

well THAT went astray.........

primates cannot solve puzzles as we humans do

(it's not about climbing trees)

Are you saying as this discussion started that uniqueness being only attributable to humans? If not then climbing trees can be an aspect of an animals uniqueness. Yes most humans can solve puzzles better than other non-human primates but not all. There are genetic alterations that unfortunately do not allow some humans to solve puzzles. There is variation within humans as in apes. For puzzle solving it is clearly in favor of humans but the fact that other primates and other animals can solve puzzles it becomes a degree rather an absolute line. Given evolutionarily potential it is not impossible for another species in time to have similar mental capabilities as humans.

Yes it is zooplankton and that's what whales eat. But you could have figured that out on your own since you are so unique.

Silly attempts to show that humans is just like any other animal on earth,
but yes some humans are very close to the rest of the animals, the donkey
for example doesn't have religion similar to the atheists.

No but I know what sionnach is.

So you know what a donkey thinks? You have been in the mind of a donkey to know exactly how they perceive their world? It is always easy to make assumptions in ignorance.

I don't know what's sionnach,

Atheists are really funny.

A. What do you know about what a donkey thinks? How can you be sure they have no religion?

B. If they don't, how do you know they aren't correct, just like the human atheists?

 

[Polymath257]

Atheists are really funny.

And so are many theists. Humans tend to be funny when talking about things they cannot know about.

I don't know where you live but there has been a great series on BBC4 called Origins of Us, Alice Roberts is the presenter and she also concluded that the brain was the reason for our success. The last show in a series of 3 was on last night..if you can, watch and learn....

BBC iPlayer - Origins of Us - 3. Brains

let's toss a set of hands unto that post of yours

brains are better in humans
so are the mechanics that allow us to experiment to a much higher degree

I can't help you if you can't see how unique the human being is compared to the rest
of the animals, by the way you can include the camel if you wish as a unique animal,
what about the turtle, regardless of the animals that you try to compare with humans,
all your attempts are silly ones.

The human being is not objectively "unique." To assert otherwise is arrogance.

Actually everything to you looks dumb because you have hard time to understand anything,
good that you can write.

There are plenty of things that don't look "dumb" to me... just don't count yourself among them.

I don't care about you.

And?
