Why, in your opinion, do you believe humans became the dominant species on earth? Why are we so different compared to other species in how we invent, colonize, and use rational thought far beyond instincts.



Or do you disagree? Do you think there is a species more dominant than humans or are we closer to other species than we want to believe?


Please share your thoughts!

I think it is because humans lack tails

Gradual genetic modification by several different alien races

essentially you are saying the same thing more scientifically

we are all gods creations and out of all gods creations we are his most precious. god desighned us to be the superior to all else

Being able to communicate through spoken language is possibly the most important reason.

We come in peace

we are a chemical balance,ie just a test tube. all creatures are a balance of the same original chemicals wich came together in different quantitys, until the quantitys were of a certain ballance that they were self producing ie a living cell. different chemical ballances in different climates produced varying "creatures".
humans have just evolved at the greatest rate in the most usefull way, we one the race.
now humans are in a position to keep their atmosphere best suited to the way they have learned they need it and therefore will remain the dominant race until enevitably nature changes our ability to control it. we are evolving still today, we are 2 foot taller than 100 years ago, our thumbs are smaller as we dont use them the way we used to.

i think my simple answer to the question will be .... we are the most indavidual thinking.. self thought and aposable thumbs
i am full of ****

THUMBS!!

I don't subscribe to that point of view
Sit in a traffic school, visit a DMV, have the misfortune of being in a Social Security office, You may notice that some of those people are less intellectual than a 12 year old chimp.

There is another more dominant species associated with this planet.

If you can stretch you box a bit and include the planet as a species.

It can and has completely oblierated several other species in the past.

Could we be next?
If we are next... Would we actually win an all out battle with this planet if it chose to remove us?

Ahhhh...

The depth of understanding that is had through the ability to consciously identify and recognize the correlation(s) between things in our observation.

Language facilitates the ability that makes that difference between a rudimentary and a heightened sense of awareness.

Add to this, the notion that humans became aware of their own ability to make a difference in their life through the use of knowledge, which came through their use of language.

The history of using the elements of the world(nature) to obtain wants, desires, and needs.

thatsbecause they choose to be lazy and dumb but were desighned for much more

AB...

The world, if known history repeats itself, will continue beyond humans...

excactly

We are not the first intelligent race, or even the first human race ,to evolve on this planet

Aye...

Time to move on.

Other species here may also then grow.

It's Mirror's fault

The Atlanteans were a previous race of humans that evolved on this planet until a global catastrophy struck and the survivors fled to other worlds.
