| I tend to disagree.
I think our place as the most intelligent of earth's creatures has allowed us to survive for the past several eons.
Let's face it, without those few subtle changes in our brains all those years ago, we probably would have been eaten by saber tooth cats along with all the other apes.
However, I will concede that although we are the most intelligent of earth's species, we are the only species that forces its environment to adapt to it, rather than the reverse case.
such disregard for the balance of ecology on our planet is unfortunate, and probably not possible to stop altogether, lest we return to the trees, but we can certainly mitigate it. |
