the best fit. I think humans just happen to be the first creature to achieve self awareness. Had humans been prevented then it could be that the dolphins would have become self aware in a million years. It would have to be some creature that is at least close in mental capacity. It's a chaotic process which is open to speculation but not prediction. TP

<<<The best "fit" into the available environment...>>> Perhaps I should have said to all available environments. Termites for example by my definition would be more successful than us. That is there is a larger biomass of them than ourselves........After all isn't this what evolution is striving for? Each species strives to become more prevalent than any other. But of course I think [ not sure ] that evolution is a mindless driving force that simply attempts to put to use the most energy in the most efficient way possible. And what ever living thing does this the best would be the most successful... LOL..... Well now that you think I'm completely nuts ......You should at least admit that I have stripped away all of my [pro human ]biases. <<Why do we feel we are God's chosen ones. >> I don't... But we may in time be evolutions chosen ones [ that mindless driving ....] If we were to become this it would sadden me.Because the destruction that we would cause would be awesome What bothers me about all this is evolutions striving for beauty......Can'tsee how this fits in.Probably blows the whole theory.......As if it weren't already \.
