Intelligent Design? o_O

We aren't more important than any other species but we are more complex.

Scientific update: We spoke before that time period. At least our ancestors.

@zece1314 fuck r u talking too

[mystisme]

at first digging a pit to burry or dead was more to avoid to let a track of our presence to predator than became like a ritual next became incoporate in religious purpose which was invented by man to give a guiding rules to survive as a speacies which derive in itself from need to control it surrondding due to fear and lack of knowlegt to confort their pears and give them a kind of answer to something that they could fully understand.i leave you on that but i have alot to say about it

Sadly some people still want a worldview like our ancestors.

@ARandomCanadian Perhaps that would be one of those reasons contributing to why I would pick a human. hmmmm

[ARandomCanadian]

@deltronz3roo If you chose the 2 cats over a human, you'd go to prison.

[deltronz3roo]

@ARandomCanadian Why are we more important? We play no bigger role than anything else on earth. We are a highly evolved animal that lives to reproduce, and dies just like anything else. My compassion extends to human and animals equally. Obviously, if put in a situation of 2 cats over a human, there are a bunch of things that play into my decision and none of the reasons would be due to humans are more important.

@puncheex Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself.

[puncheex]

Sure, we've modified other animals, but only in a gross and superficial way. We haven't crafted proteins; we've borrowed a useful gene from another species and grafted the gene into the target's genome. We've only created the most gross kind of gene mutation, essentially acting like an endogenous virus (indeed, using such) to get a whole desirable gene into theirs.

Our technology crawls before it walks or runs, and that is exactly what it is we're doing now in genetic modification.

[puncheex]

@ARandomCanadian: I never said that we aren't manipulating evolution; what I am saying is that we haven't managed to remove ourselves totally from it.

So, what exactly is the "adaptation" you speak of, that can happen within the week or two that a contagious disease normally takes to win or loose the struggle? The immune system is itself adaptive; that's not genetic, except it its basic construction. Like the brain it has the capacity to learn about its environment and react in a limited way.
