What it means to be human?

What do you think that means Bill?

As we share 35% with algae, 40% odd with bananas and given that pretty much all life is DNA based its no surprise that the primate family has a close percentage.

Did you know, although its obvious if you think about it, that we are only 99.5% alike ourselves and that includes twins. More interestingly Edelman pointed out that the way we are built means that we don't even have the same wiring. Every single human is built uniquely.

You talk to me about my view of the world and hint that I have a negative view but all I hear from this thread is gloom and doom about what it is to be human. You forget, music, love, art, poetry, literature, dance, the sciences, engineering, medicine, film, architecture, agriculture, et al.

Most of what you describe is economics. Try treating humans better and I think we'll find the animals will get what they deserve. Until then your emotive pleas will fall upon deaf ears, especially since you sit in a position of wealth and more ironically since its your culture who has sold the 'dream' and the rest of the world has brought it. And please don't say that unionism will solve this as you work for capital and profit, just like those poachers and hunters.

Thank you for your response.


You may have misinterpreted the general intent or flow of my posts upon this thread.


Any misunderstanding is the fault of mine.




Good New Year to you!

How can I misinterpret when you essentially say nothing nor reply to any enquiry?

But I accept this is your misunderstanding.

What is your point or intent upon this thread?

I have been throwing tag lines across the concepts of the inhumanity of humans and the evident humanity of apes.



The crossover threads of thought that could further challenge what we believe to be our superiority over...those animals.

So you're just a cheap graffiti artist? And what has this to do with corporations? But you're an idiot as 'personhood' is not assigned by others its demanded by the thing that thinks it is one.

Show me the human primate in the gorilla lab?

Ever thought about the humanity in taking a great ape and putting it in a house?

Chimpanzees consider their audience when communicating

I'll be more impressed when we find out that they don't tell their companion about the snake due to some perceived slight in the past or to gain some advantage in the pecking order.

How about this?






Very humanistic...

Goodbye...You noble old man of Mikeno...




Somehow, we are less human without you here.

You know I hear you Bill. As I've said before mankind cannot see life for the self. He'll understand once it's too late, such shall be the ends of the dumbest animal on the planet.

I've been sharing Koko's story! Again, Thanks for the tears Bill, as they open my minds eye.
