[Raymond Pamintuan]

Modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are not just incrementally superior to any other hominid or animal; we’re qualitatively different, both as the only known technologically-intelligent species and by virtue of dozens of unique abilities.

It is not a claim but a demonstrable fact that anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are vastly superior to every other form of life and, for whatever reason, all the genetic mutations that make us unique and confer over 40 traits and behaviors that result in evolutionary advantages over every other animal, occurred within a short period of time, within just one genus, and nowhere else.

We learned from our mistakes and pass that learning on to our kids.
We had lots of kids because we knew many would scoff at what we were trying to teach them and would never live long enough to pass that knowledge on.

Until we learn to communicate with honey bees and understand the complexity of their society, we need not even attempt to communicate with extraterrestrials.

We’re not animals,we were made in God’s image unlike animals.

Read posts until I found one that recognized that humans have souls. Regardless of our talents, all souls are equal.

We have thumbs...

Squirrels have thumbs that hold their food but they're not opposable......

Economical, for sure.

Maybe because we can contemplate eternity, infinity and love, we can seek that when we leave Earth.

In a similar vein:

Dogs have owners; cats have staff.

"Why Are Humans Unique and Superior to All Other Animals?"

Because God made us to have a personal relationship with Him, and He made animals for our food and amusement.

End of story.

They can’t open their canned food and put in in a bowl.

[Gen.Blather]

They don’t need to.

Humans do not have instincts. Humans do have intuition.

He knew the answer was because of the metric system. I don’t think Brad was going to talk himself out of that anyway.
