What actually made the difference between animals vs man in the beginning ?

[epronovost]

If so,
what for the scientists go into the sky ?

To fullfil a need to satiate curiosity, simple personnal pleasure, push our technical limits and our theoretical foundationz which increase our capacity to thrive in general.

 

[epronovost]

Man always remain unfulfilled. No matter how much, or what he has attained. Always look forward towards some higher goal.

Whereas, this is NOT the case in animals.

Animals are never satiated either. They will always try to find more comfort, more food, more pleasure, more safety, more mates or better ones (should they not be from a species that form long lasting pairs), more solid social bonds (should the be social), leave more descendants, etc.

Man is an animal.

As to what increased the intelligence of homosapiens, there are several hypothesis but nothing concrete.

Some ideas
Coming down from the trees and having to hunt on open land
Change of diet, from purely vegetation to include meat
Brain to body size
Brain density
Neurone size

 

[Aupmanyav]

Rather, its just the repetition of same thing over and again.

Yeah, it is repetition. Some times it gets boring. Th first Sankaracharya prayed to Krishna in this way:

Punarapi Jananam Punarapi Maranam, Punarapi Jananijathare Shayanam,
Iha Samsāre Bahudustāre, Kripayā pāre Pāhi Murāre.
(From Bhaja Govindam – Adi Shankaracharya)

(Again the birth, again the death, again the nine-month stay in the womb of the mother,
O Krishna*, this world is too difficult, kindly take me to the other shore and save me.)

* Krishna, Murāri, the opponent of demon Murā.

Yeah.

But, animals don't get bored of it.

That's what make man different from animals.

This is getting very silly.

If you don't think before posting, as @Aupmanyav recommends you to do, very soon people are going to put you on Ignore and stop responding to you.

Don't speak of others. All have their own point of views.

You want to ignore, you are welcome

It won't be just me, though. That's my point.

*Other animals.

I think what you're trying to get at comes down to the fact humans developed complex imaginative intelligence. All animals have goals of some kind but we are able to have more complex, long-term and abstract goals. I'm not sure it's such a huge step in intelligence but it was probably something of a tipping point in our progress from basic pack behaviour to more structured society.

That's what make man different from animals.

Herbivores have to eat a lot of it to sustain themselves so they are always busy in eating.
The carnivores have time, but think only of their non-veg food.

Oh, I would not put Chinu on ignore even if he is a theist. We suffer so many silly things in the forums, so Chinu alone does not make much of a difference.

Where do you get that assertion from?

My dog is never full, always wants more food, never fulfilled.
My dog can never walk far enough, never fulfilled.

Man gets bored of repeating something again and again. And realize unfulfilled.
Animals don't.

 

[chinu]

Man CAN realize that he will always remain unfulfilled.
But, animals don't.

 

[ChristineM]

Animals with similar attributes also tend to be intelligent and social.

However, most animals have not changed their environment from tree to savanna, in fact most haven't changed their environment at all

Note, there is a geko that has recently changed its environment from forest to cave, their evolution is rapid and being observed and documented.​

Most animals have retained their diet.
Although there are other large brained animals they are few with the a neurone density

Well, what actually made the difference between.. Animals vs Man in the beginning ?

Culture.

It was demonstrated that a human disconnected from thousands of years of human culture is not much different from other animals (just a little more efficient in cognitive abilities).

BTW, I do not believe that. You know I am a strong atheist. Basically, I am still the animal.
