Survival of the humanity.

Let's be real here, human lives are far superior to any other species and I know you want to deny this theory but believe it or not, deep down you know this is true. For example, what would you do in this situation: you and your friend are stranded on an island, you're both starving and running low on food. How will you survive? Realistically, those trying to survive in the wild would most likely do anything to stay alive whether if it's to hunt or harvest, find shelter, et cetera. Even though most of us probably learned from Man vs Wild, these are our survival instincts. Truly, humans are no different from animals, especially in our principles of survival. But to be fair, animals aren't just animals, fish aren't just fish, and humans aren't just humans. Just like how we adapted to our own invironment, they have done the same. 

A classmate (we'll call him classmate A) brought up a great example of environmental adaptations, he asked the question "How are we different from monkeys in the wild?" My other classmate (classmate B) quickly responded, "Well we don't poop everywhere." Even though that is true, besides our school boys bathrooms, classmate B implies that if we were raised in that type of invironment we wouldn't do the same, though primitively our great great great... Ancestors undoubtedly started this way.

What logically makes us superior is our complexity, they way our physical attributes are structured, our cognitive features - our brain. Our advancements may be our downfalls but the fact that if we ever stop using these gifts of knowledge and learning would actually make us no different than primitive monkeys, frightens me. Our humanity is great and the fact that we can learn to respect other living creatures is even more astonishing.
