I never knew that......

I believe that We're also the only species that actually go out to help and protect our weak. Not as in leaving our young alone to die but the older and weak. There comes a point where keeping the elderly or disabled alive becomes a liability

That is wild. Make me think that us humans aren't **** when compared to other life. They evolve to adapt to the environment. We just change our environment to suit our needs. Once we lose that option, we are done for.

Yes and no. Yes, we don't have claws so we can't rip things to shreds. We don't have huge teeth or strong masseter muscles like apes so we can't tear things apart with our teeth. Our vision and smell are GOD AWFUL compared to wildlife. HOWEVER we are the only mammal that can sustain running for long periods of time. We can literally run all day. Cheetas can't do that, apes can't, horses are decent, but still inferior to us. Humans would absolutely destroy any animal on the planet in a 3 hour race so I mean, every species evolved in different ways. Ours was upright bipedal-ism. But yes, for the most part if most animals want something, they evolve it, and we manipulate the environment to get it.
 
If that meteor didn't mess it up for dinosaurs, you think one of their evolutionary relatives wouldn't developed to be similar to what humans are now? Kinda like that tv show Dinosaurs. I just got done watching Jurassic World btw.

Without A Lot Of Training I Doubt most humans would be able to run all day and even then that's a stretch

I'm pretty sure he was referencing our capabilities if we weren't fat lazy slobs sitting at a computer all day and actually outside all day. I remember reading about tribes following their prey until it was too tired to continue, not actually keeping pace but tracking and staying close. We have the stamina. I also believe it is one of the reasons we have dogs and they are kept in such high regard. Wolves and wild dogs use the same hunting techniques we would have which is why we probably adapted them as pets and used this to our advantage.

It's the evolutionary trade of sweating which puts us at the top as we can continue speed and keep cool. Most animals must stop or slow down to pant and it's still not as efficient.

but that's using intelligence as a factor, he worded it as if humans were able to run non stop all day which is false.

Correct, I my wording was slightly exaggerated but you get the idea. Humans can run/jog for a very very long time compared to other animals. ESPECIALLY if we are trained. Physiologically we have that capability. You cannot train a cheetah to run a marathon. It's physiologically impossible. Persistence hunting is what I'm alluding to Btw. See our genus/species ancestors
 
There really are stupid people in this world..

"Friend": my socks smell
Me: when did you last wash those socks
"Friend": 2 days ago
Me:did you wore them yesterday?
"Friend": yes
Me : does that answer your question

redd-and-malcolm-x1.jpg


"Back in the day in the early 40’s, a red-haired, St. Louis-born, teenager named  John Elroy Sanford (later known as Redd Foxx)  had just come back to New York from Philly where he’d been working as a shipping clerk. His parents moved to Chicago when he was 13 but the youngster, eager for a chance in show business and finding nothing around Chicago, hopped a freight to N.Y. in 1939 with three members of a washtub band. While hanging around a poolroom one day, he ran into a thin Detroiter named Malcolm Little  whose hair looked a lot like John’s (Redd Foxx’s). The two struck up a friendship.

Their red hair and mariney complexions started making friends call John “Chicago Red” and Malcolm “Detroit Red.” Time and a separate path each man took eventually erased their nicknames, but not the memories of those lean years when both were struggling for a buck. “Chicago Red” later caught on big with the comic nickname Redd Foxx. “Detroit Red’s” name became emblazoned across the world’s headlines as Malcolm X."

There is a sign language for black people and for white people.
The schools that taught sign languages were segregated.

Why prince philip is not a king even though hes married to the queen

There are two types of Queens, Queen Regnant and Queen Consort.

Queen Regnant inherits the position from the previous monarch, and is the ruling head of state

Queen Consort is the wife of the current monarch and has no official role within the state.

There is no equivalent King Consort, so Philip could only be Prince Consort instead. Ruling Queens have avoided naming their partner as King to avoid appearing weaker or not in charge.

The only occasion where a Queen Regnants husband was styled King was as a result of the glorious revolution when Mary replaced her deposed father on condition that her husband be allowed to rule jointly with her

Dragonflies cant walk on their legs. They are just landing mechanisms.

The indent on the bottom of a bottle of wine is called a punt.
It was originally used to gather loose sediment so the wine could pour into the decanter without anything in it.

Same. I can dig it cuz he's actually progressive and willing to realize that science and religion don't have to be at odd's with each other.
