I'm a secondary school teacher and a lot of kids I know are about as intelligent and articulate as a dead slug. Not that some of the senior management are any better.
By the way, crows are much more intelligent than dogs. But people always get offended by this for some reason 0________o even though this is a fact....
Monkeys use tools like this crow uses them. Sticks which they stick into trees to get different buggs such as ants, centipedes or termites. You can probably find some videos about that on the suggested after this movie.
@Icemario87 not all think like that... im in the environmental field and really, arrogance is a trait that many people have, religious or not....believe me...
@Icemario87 Trust me, arrogance is a human characteristic, religious or not. I am not sure how whoever's god caring only for people has anything to do with the characteristics of animals.
I suppose if we redefine "care" to mean make humans so superior that animal traits are nothing in comparison, then we'd be gods ourselves...
The arrogance I am detecting from you, however, kind of makes you sound like a hypocrite.
Not at all. It was actually very judgmental for you to say that, isn't that a shed of arrogance? I personally think God have us all of these qualities to use, evolution doesn't explain this, if it did, why aren't monkeys getting the same logic we input when you using high advances of technology.
I suggest you read up a little on evolution. Tool use can be explained via evolutionary theory. I also think you should work on your English. The last part of your post makes no sense. But if you are asking why monkeys don't use tools, they do. If you are asking why monkeys aren't getting noticeably smarter in your lifetime than I think you need to read the first sentence in my post.
Humans were incapable of recognizing how many traits we share with other species until we finally recognized that we're a part of nature, not apart from nature.
@YY4Me133 As much as you earned my thumbs up, you seem to fail to see that only the smaller part of human population still sees itself as part of nature. the rest prefers to become more and more ignorant. sad but true.
@Vollhirni No, I don't fail to see that. I'm aware that many humans still think we're somehow "special." I was referring, however, to those of us who have gotten past that kind of thinking. Change happens slowly. Humans are just as uncomfortable with change as a cat is when the furniture's been rearranged. :o)
Smartest thing I have heard in a while. We separate ourselves from other animals because it makes us feel special. An ex: of this is that we use the word race to describe different human traits. Because breed is a word associated with creatures so it makes ppl feel uneasy. Some scientist believe we got were we are by watching different animals and combining/building off of their strategies. Like watching a bird use a stick tool and trying ourselves, then enhancing the technique.
@TiggerMusica When I see native peoples, covered in feathers, dancing, then see the mating dances of birds, it does seem that the humans copied the behavior of the birds. In any event, humans are just another species that shares traits with many others. "Pecking order" seems to be common in all social species, including humans. To use different terms for traits shared by different species is disingenuous. If humans are "special," it's only to ourselves.
I find this theory completely fascinating. And though some people may find it insulting to think we learned from animals I would label it one of our most amazing traits. The fact that we can analyze what others are doing and find a way for it to work to our advantage. A great survival skill. And when you looking at it that way one must wonder if that old saying, “Those animals act just like humans” is right. Maybe it should be, “We act just like them.” For good or bad.
@TiggerMusica Of course humans learned some things from other animals. If certain animals didn't drink from a particular water source, humans and other animals probably learned that it was best to avoid it, as well. We all learn from trial and error, whether we do so on a conscious or unconscious level. I've lived with other species, and they're not mindless, walking furniture. They, too, learn from experience.
Exactly. But some take it as an insult rather than the complement it really is. The fact that we can observe a technique then use it for ourselves; not with just one thing but possibly hundreds of them. And then proceed to build off of everything we learned. Some say curiosity got us this far but that’s only half true. It’s our broadened imagination. A bird will see a tool. We will see it as that, and everything else it can be. This does give humans the playing board.... continued...
But the mistake is that it separates us from other animals. That’s simply not true. A lion is on of the strongest predators on the plain, but it’s still a cat. And as the old saying goes “at the end of the day the pawn and the king go into the same box.” But I wouldn’t call it a pecking order per say. We tend to operate more like a pack. In fact a few NA tribes say they learned hunting techniques and family values from wolf packs.
Nope. Just tend to get excited when i see common sense being used. I explained my self in more detail to see if we were on the same page. There are many people who believe many things. And some seem similar to what was said; but different in small yet significant ways. I was just trying to get a better grasp of your concept of the idea.
