Humans are just like any other animal.
1. We do what ever we can to survive.
2. We take advantage of the environment to live.
3. We warred off enemies that trespass on to our space.
It's just that man has advanced to the point that we put these needs to the extreme.
1. We attack, kill, and destroy to survive.
2. We rape the land to live.
3. We are so paranoid that we build the most destructive weapons on earth to warred off enemies.
We are merely apes with a higher consciousness. But this higher plane of thinking has caused us to forget that we are only apes and that we must behave in such a way to survive efficiently. We abuse our higher state of being to the point condemning the state in which we should live.
The Yeti is not the missing link. We are. We are not the height of human evolution because we are so imperfect. Maybe the next step in evolution will have finally coped with it's mental faculties and realize it's predecessor's faults.
In a sense, man has become to smart for itself. The animal part of our minds have yet to catch up with the rational part of our minds. Thus, we have become the child with his father rifle.
So saying all this, how exactly *smart* are we? We still war with and kill each other for the past several millenia, with little or no change in how we act. Are we hopeless?!
