Are human beings an evolutionary mistake? [View all]
The most common trait in the recorded history of human beings is that we murder each other.
The reason's vary: Geography, color, religion, language, height, weight, eye color and so much more: Take your pick. We murder each other because of our differences. And, possibly, because each and every one of us wants to own it all.
IMO, human beings are a species that is hell-bent on destructing other living things, each other, and the planet that sustains us.
Want a bit more proof? Check out any day's news. Kill the blacks, browns, Asians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Shintos, Amish, -- damn. Pick it. Kill anyone who's different. Kill all the "THEMS." And kill any species that "threatens" us such as snakes, alligators, tigers, ... well, you get the idea.
And once all the wild creatures and "THEMS" are killed, lets start with those who don't believe exactly the same thing "we" believe. Follow this out to its logical conclusion, and there may, perhaps, be one single person left on Earth.
Yes, I have a point here. We humans tend to suck a lot. We tend to believe that we are superior to others because of some skill/talent we may have. We tend to believe that we will own the Earth.
Logic tells me that there are perhaps hundreds of millions, or perhaps either billions of other species that inhabit our galaxy. Is there some "universal intelligence" that caused this to come about? Beats me. But, if I had to guess, let me go back to where I began. Are human beings an evolutionary mistake?
