Are we naturally occurring or are we a genetically engineered, introduced species? A moose does not desire, it's only instict is to eat and procreate, not consume the planet. Humans are like locusts. It not so much the size of our population as the voracity of our appetite to consume stuff we don't need.

? Are you asking if we're aliens Cliffy? If we are, then take one look at a moose and tell me they aren't too. :p

Possibly genetically engineered with alien DNA. My best reason for thinking there is validity to that is our complete disconnect with all other life on Earth, our sense of superiority, our complete disregard for the Earth and her creatures and our sense that everything on this planet is there for our benefit. We think we own the place and can exploit whatever we want without consequences. There is also the sudden quantum leaps in our evolution. In the blink of the evolutionary eye we went from semi ape to fully human. Seems probable to me that there was some interference there.

What if humans are a crossbreed of apes and aliens.

alien spaceship crew lands on earth thousands of years ago,possibly a million years ago,they celebrate get drunk,then screw a few monkeys,and "voila" here we are. ;)

Ever seen what elephants will do to the "environment"? They aren't very green.

Don't think it would be that simple. DNA splicing would seem more likely, kinda like how we put frog DNA in potatoes (or was that tomatoes? Thank the Lord for Monsanto!)

I think you're ignoring the fact that we behave like plenty of animals. Animals, contrary to some people's perceptions of them, aren't noble, considerate creatures. When their numbers rise, they'll strip an area clean just as much as humans will. The difference is, rather than then conserving and coming together to work, they starve to death and start the cycle over. Humans on the other hand, conserve, work together to ensure longevity of the species, which is just as natural. Your perceptions of human nature are skewed because you look to the worst aspects almost exclusively.

They don't mine? Is digging a hole to find a mineral considered mining? Is devestatating a forest considered clear cutting?

The "blame" does rest on just man.

Still we can't ignore our contribution,which a big part of it is cause by the savage economy,how many items some stores throw in the trash,instead of selling them,so they'll keep the prices high?
and these so called energy efficiant loghtbulds,which apparently can't be recycled.

WTF

If we were anything like the animals we would go through the bust and boom cycles that they do. Our longevity is artificially maintained but it cannot last forever because it is unnatural. We have created an imbalance in nature where a cataclysmic die off is inevitable. Humans do have some very special qualities but we are also very short sighted, incapable of foreseeing the long term consequences of our actions. All the information and signs are there but we choose to ignore them and continue blindly down the path of our own destruction. That doesn't seem too intelligent to me.

(Que silly comment from Petros ----)

In all fairness, there used to be more forests, and what they did would not have been considered so catastrophic.

The natives put up thorn fences to protect their gardens, and sometimes it works...............unless Jumbo is really hungry. Then the natves take to the field with torches to drive them off. Sometimes they run away, and ..................sometimes they just stomp a few gardeners into ratpulp..........**Nat. Geographic.

But, gotta love the last pic of the guys pointing..........."The bastards went that a way"...............lol


My old uncle thought the same of racoons when they decimated his sweet corn in one evening. Not pleasant.

More forest ot not, they never did give a **** about it and they will dig big ass holes to find salts (mining). That is the same behaviour we have.

I've seen mining operations that would blow you mind Cliff. Why do you think I razz greens over copper use?
