Humans are the only intelligent species in the world? Excluding you, right?

Humans are the only world-dominating species in the world? There are 1,000 insects on Earth for every single human being.

>> No.3678492

OP, two reasons. Hominids could only evolve to dominate the world because there was not already an established world dominating species. And we are the only intelligent hominid species because we killed the others tens of thousands of years ago.

Op asked for intellectual humans not intellectuals.
Blacks are the most human.
Hence it is blacks.

Humans are good at war. Because we're good at war, we won. If anything were to try and take our place from earth, we'd destroy them before they became a threat. From off earth, we know less about the possibilities.

I thought we bred with Neanderthals.

>>3679739
afik, we have more of "our" genes then "their" genes. So we mostly killed them off. Something like <5% of their genes are left in our population.

We did. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Humans also bred with another hominid species named Denisovans, but that doesn't get as much press as the Neanderthan-Sapiens interbreeding.

and out-hunted.
Humans intelligence/behaviour comes from the process of moving from jungle primates to plains hunters. We developed complex communication for our hunting and becoming up right freed our hands for the creation of ever elaborate tools.
Then there is the opinion that having a fish based diet for a period helped brain development.

>> No.3679788

>>3678452
Because we have the biggest brain weight by comparison to body weight.

Why? Well, the universe is the way it is, and the universe evolved according to the laws of physics to become how it is today. That depends on some initial conditions, the rules of change aka physics, and the chance along the way for the quantum events.

We know physics is true because of the abundance of evidence for the laws of physics. We are able to extrapolate backwards to some initial conditions. And there's some chance which has no explanation besides "That's just the way it happened".

Do you have any more specific questions?

Because we aren't the only intelligent species. Reptilian Aliens are here also. If humans evolved from mammals then it's even more likely that an intelligent species evolved from Dinosaurs when they had even more time for evolution to take place then mammals with a much more competitive environment.
