sorry Domenic u know i love you mate.. but i agree fully with John, trendy has nothing to do with it, its evolution, we started out as monkeys and developed alot faster. we may be the smartest species by our own measurments, but in the big picture, we are just one of the species, live , reproduce, die, eat , kill for survival (all tho most of us dont have to ) just like the others. quote:
I will never buy into this crap that humans are just animals. We have free will and and a conscience, animals dont Animals have alot of free will, only we dont let them do what they want, conscience is something learned, so its self inflicted, imprinted in you depending on the your upbringing and your ideology of right and wrong, its a nice thing to have, sounds very emm.. grand and Humain ( all tho we can conviniently turn it off when it dosent suit our interest to have it)[:)] we are smarter ! therefore able to control the enviroment and other animals around us, and write religion and have built ourselfs up as decendants from gods ( but then again WE wrote that [;)] its great to be able to write your own reviews and history, we even created the ultimate beeing whos son is ofcourse human [;)])which is why its probably hard to accept that we are just like them, but if someone was to watch us from another planet will just see another species, just a litlle more advanced. nothing more here is a quic look at your species... enjoy [;)] quote:
The scientific study of human evolution encompasses the development of the genus Homo, but usually involves studying other hominids and hominines as well, such as Australopithecus. "Modern humans" are defined as the Homo sapiens species, of which the only extant subspecies is Homo sapiens sapiens; Homo sapiens idaltu (roughly translated as "elder wise man"), the other known subspecies, is extinct.[3] Anatomically modern humans appear in the fossil record in Africa about 130,000 years ago.[4][5] The closest living relatives of Homo sapiens are the two species of chimpanzee: the Bonobo (Pan paniscus) and the Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). The two species are equally close (they share the same common ancestor), the main difference between them is the social organization: matriarchal for the Bonobo and patriarchal for the Common Chimpanzee.[6] Full genome sequencing resulted in the conclusion that "after 6.5 [million] years of separate evolution, the differences between bonobo/chimpanzee and human are just 10 times greater than those between two unrelated people and 10 times less than those between rats and mice". In fact, 98.4% of the DNA sequence is identical between Humans, or human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man") in the family Hominidae (the great apes).[1][2] Humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species. Humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago. Since then, their area of occupation has extended to include every continent, with a total population of over 6.5 billion as of 2007. Like most primates, humans are social by nature; however, humans are particularly adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization. Humans create complex social structures composed of cooperating and competing groups, ranging in scale from small families and partnerships to species-wide political, scientific and economic unions, and social interaction between humans has established an extremely wide variety of traditions, rituals, ethics, values, social norms, and laws which form the basis of human society. Humans also have a marked appreciation for beauty and aesthetics which, combined with the human desire for self-expression, has led to cultural innovations such as art, literature and music. Humans are also noted for their desire to understand and influence the world around them, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, philosophy, mythology and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills; humans are the only known species to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies the only thing i dont agree with is that they are calling us all " Homos" ....
