Of course we're special.

We're light years beyond every other species. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Our achievements as a species outweigh those of every other species combined.

That's 8,699,999 species to our one.

You are not talking directly about the lines of evidence for the evolution of any animal much less man.

But even in regard to the behaviors you are discussing, Koko signed, had a cat and could use tools. I don't think a palm tree has come anywhere close to doing anything like that and I would say Koko's behaviors are far more like our behaviors than the palm trees. Yet you claim to accept what the theory of evolution suggests about the relationship between the palm tree and the gorilla but not the gorilla and us?

So because we've put more distance between ourselves and trees (organisms lacking a brain or central nervous system) than we have between us and apes, that's somehow supposed to mean something about our incredible capacity that far outstrips all other species?

For the record, I don't think millions of years of evolution has widened the original gap between trees and gorillas, so your point, whatever it was supposed to be is, well, meaningless.

What? What is wrong with you?

Your new claimed metric is behavioral homologies like tool use, language, music etc.. The gorilla's behavior is more like ours than the palm trees yet you claim to believe that the gorilla and palm tree are related but not us and the gorilla. Can you explain why?

Of course, it widened the gap. What original gap? You claimed to believe they share a common ancestor or are you rejecting that now as well?

What's wrong with you? You compared gorillas to trees.

The relationship between the gorilla and us is equally irrelevant because they too are nowhere near us.

You can "yeah but" all day, but you can never explain how evolution selected one species out of 8.7 million for complete, total, and thoroughly unchallenged dominion over life on earth.

Yes, I compared them. They are related. The relationship between us and gorillas and gorillas and palm tress is not relevant to a discussion of evolutionary theory? LOL

So why did you ask "what's wrong with you" when I responded to your comparison?

I suppose you'll run anywhere to avoid the difficult questions.

I can. It had to be someone. There, done. Mice are also extremely successful. We weren't "selected" that's the whole point.

What is wrong with you?

Because you fucking moron, the theory of evolution explains how species are related. It does not make predictions about technological advancement.

I was mocking what you imply.

That's just the course of nature and time, some species are more successful than others and over time a dominant species naturally arises. This is evolution 101.

OK, so if man disappeared from the earth tomorrow which species would take his place, and how long before you would expect to see that species erecting great civilizations?

Depends on the condition of man's demise, and however long it fucking takes. Again civilization and technology are not metrics for evolution, dumbass.

I did say "tomorrow" so I mean like instantaneously.

And I also said about ten times already, dumbass, that it is the capacity to develop great civilizations and technologies that are signs of advanced evolution, if it is evolution.

I am sure cheetahs would prefer to hunt with rifles like we do. Why has evolution denied them that?

Or crocodiles? They have been evolving longer than any of us.

If evolution is such a sound theory, our successor should be apparent, like Mike Tyson following Larry Holmes.

Not nearly as much as I mock you non-responses. Your repeatedly inability to explain how one species "evolved" the intelligence to race beyond very other species and dominate all is basically a wall you've hit.

Perhaps the stupidest post I've ever seen.

Why would one "take his place", moron?
 
Take his place tomorrow? Well, whichever species is currently #2 dumbass. Mice, unless I'm mistaken on that.

Civilization arises as a necessity. If mice go on propagating the world without it, they don't need it.

Taft is an example of reverse evolution of man.

You like to throw out stuff like "civilization arises out of necessity" like it's a fact.

Mice will need to develop technology, because as their population grows, so will the populations of snakes and owls and such.
