Why are humans so different from other animals?

Ғылым және технология

Why do humans drive cars and not chimpanzees? What explanations can be found in our prehistory? Magnus Enquist, Stockholm University, investigates what happened when the human and chimpanzee development line parted about 5.5 million years ago. One explanation is the human ability to do things in several steps and the ability to transfer accumulated knowledge from generation to generation. The long childhood and culture of humans are other reasons. To play and learn for a long time favors knowledge development.

Why does the human brain feel the need to understand itself? Why do we manipulate matter on the nanoscale? Why do we have the capability to explore the macroverse and microverse with telescopes and microscopes? Why are we the only animal of billions of animals who does all these things?

Would those animals still be considered subservient to humans? Would it be considered discrimination? Would we have wars with them for the role of the dominant species? Would they eventually gain equality where they would be allowed to vote and serve in Congress? It’s a super weird thing to ponder...

Animals babies don't even survive! They got stolen and eaten by other animals or born weak and destined to die. If there's 7 kitten's for a example, 5-4 of them die. What are you even talking about and human babies are actually has a intelligence same as dog's just when they're born. What do you expect from some creature that have just opened it's eyes? Speak Chinese? Of course they need someone to show them what they can do so they can be like them. As what they are meant to be, a human. Animal parents does the same and they still end up like their parents. Just walking around breathing. While we, highly successful and saving the world, finding medicine and cures for deadly viruses and illness. Caring about global warming and willing to stop it and much more. Dumb animals are Just a background character. Besides, god talked to us. Not them. We are chosen as the main character of the world. The god gave us duties. We are way insane intelligent to be compared to dumb animals.. remember stuff we do, for a example like Lion King 2019 movie or realistic models that looks exactly real, can't even tell a difference. Can they do that? Can they built cities or phone's, talking, walking, realistic robot's? Hm? Nope. Can they make surgery? And more I can't write, nope. Can they find cure and medicine to heal?

Each time with more curiosity. We're talking tens of thousands of years. Also, the big migration played a huge part in how we evolved. Do you believe humans are all the same despite their skin colour? I think it goes deeper than that. Literally. Every race evolved to survive best in their chosen environment. I hate to say this but French Bulldogs and Welsh Corgi's have completely different personalities, yet they still fall under the same umbrella "Dogs". Think about it. .

    The answer to that is genetic drift. Genetic mutations occur and this causes a random change in the DNA sequence which is why Species seperate gradually over a long period time. Natural selection also affects it but Genetic mutations are the main reason as to why there are so many different species in the world.

Is there any new information to explain why/how humans separated from chimp evolution, shedding body hair, in exchange for elongated childhoods, bipedalism etc?

Look at the way chimpanzees and other great apes besides humans use tools; they have the notion of using tools for cutting, breaking and even washing, but they do it in a not very productive way given how low their Fine motor skills are.

    But then, you can still ask, what are the genetic origins of prolonged acculturation. Or ask, what are the mechanisms by which we assimilate culture, or turn scattered data into something coherent? Can Chimps do what we do, given four times as much time? How does human language, music and mathematical skills play apart? And how did these skills provide an adaptive advantage? Tool making, we have some reason to believe, is enhanced by language instruction, for example.

    Dear A Random Guy, Despite human intelligence, you apparently lack the ability to write properly. I do realize that it's likely that you aren't a native English speaker, or you may not have gone to grade school, so this isn't meant to be insulting, but that's not how capitalization, sentences, spaces, grammar, punctuation, or spelling works. Here are a few tips to help you to learn English writing: - Don't capitalize words that are in the middle of a sentence. - When you use a comma, put a space after it. - When using brackets, a single bracket on each side will do. - Don't put question marks in the middle of sentences. - Don't put things in quotations or capitalize them for no reason. - When you finish a sentence, end it with a period. Start the next sentence with a capital. - Only put one space between words. - Don't put "well" at the beginning of sentences for no reason. - When there is a red line under a word, that means you spelled it wrong. Good luck! I have edited your comment and corrected all of the bizarre mistakes. Feel free to delete your original comment, and replace it with the now-correct version posted below. You may want to go through it line-by-line, so you can learn how to write. You're welcome. Well, I think the ability to 'think' probably originated when we picked up stones, thought about it, shaved them, and put them on sticks to make spears (their thoughts and 'whys'). Why was the one stone sharper than the other? Why was stone by itself not cutting well enough? That 'why' changed the reality of humans forever. We think about why we are here. The answer would probably be because we asked "why" in the first place. I think that every single decision that is made consciously or by habit creates a new future. I drank coffee this evening, and this could change the entire universe forever. I cannot go back, as everything is a life-changing decision.

    @@prumchhangsreng979 "but they dont learn it or make a discovery or scientific breakthrough. Its part of their nature and instinct." Not entirely true. Many other animals have culture. Scientists tend to define culture as that which is learned and passed on from individual to individual, rather than that which is purely instinctive. Other animals do this too, it's just that human culture is much more advanced in many aspects. But all of this advanced human behavior is merely a consequence of superior intelligence. Particularly the abstract form of intelligence which is very much thought to have evolved alongside anatomical capabilities of doing much more complex and controlled vocalisations than that of our close ape cousins, which has allowed for much more advanced language and communication. And language very abstract. When it comes to abstract intelligence, there are just no other animals that are quite as good at abstract thinking as us humans. But there are many other animals that are also exceptionally good, particularly many of the different species of whales and dolphins have quite advanced language and consequently quite advanced abstract capabilities, just not quite as good as us humans. But out of all the animals, one animal had to come out on top and be the better animal at abstract intelligence, and it just so happens that it was us humans that drew that straw. But that doesn't make us into something which is not an animal, it just makes us into a very intelligent animal, probably the most intelligent animal.

    We are not the exception. Its just that we humans kinda killed the other slightly less Inteligent species. Even if we at some point shared this planet with another equally super Inteligent species. We would fight with then, and in the end only one of them would remain. Asking themselves why are they the only one alone. We humans often dislike what is different, the Inteligence that we have doesn't prevent us from being stupid.

    So glad that this scientist pinpointed an obvious reality pertaining to humans (by the way, one which Aristotle also saw as pivotal). That reality is the very extended period of maturation for our children. This not only allows for incredible formation of culture, it also does something else (noted by Aristotle), yet treated as unimportant today. That is the necessity of strong and long pair-bonding between a woman and a man (the father). This is so important that NO civilization can arise without it and any society that ignores it will quickly go extinct.

    Pugsy Malone No, there is truth to us being different. Like an individual ant, an individual human is not so much different from an animal. What makes humans unique is not necessarily our intelligence, or any quality we have for that matter, but how we communicate WITH each other. Our greatest asset by far is our ability to pass on and build upon information we share. All other aspects are, while important, merely supplemental. It is impossible for the human species to evolve as it did without such social ability, both in the development of our brain and technological development.

    Humans are one of a kind. I don't think evolution alone can explain our uniqueness among the innumerable lifeforms. I'm not sure you can even classify us as animals. It may be more accurate to say we are descended from animals or we have animal ancestry. But clearly, we also have a spark of the divine. We aren't just more intelligent than animals. We are fundamentally different. Animals are more like biological automatons, where as we have free will. Moreover, I've never seen an animal appear to comprehend the sublime. You never see them stopping to take in a beautiful view. They never appear to marvel at human creations, or show any interest in music. Even the most primitive humans, if they discovered a watch, would wonder who made it. They would know it doesn't belong in nature, where as a pidgeon sees Notre Dame as just another rock to perch on. You can't explain away the mystery of humanity by saying we have longer childhoods, or a superior ability to transmit our culture. I'm sure you could artificially extend a chimp's childhood in order to test if this idea is true, but we already know it won't make a difference. We won't ever be able to teach an animal our culture. They simply lack the interest and the ability, nor will they ever evolve the ability. If it were that easy, it would have happened hundreds of times by now.

    the only reason humans are "smarter" is because we got the right set of events our ancient ancestors evolved to grasp trees and such, something happened and we left those trees and migrated. ether during or after that migration we developed and used simple things such as bones and sticks to defend ourselves from predators. as they walked, some apes began to stand upright, as it's more effective and uses less energy to move around on ground (this also lead to children being born early due to hips shrinking as more generations walked upright to better walk upright. full body hair was not needed and so gradually faded generation by generation. skipping to the point where fire was found, cooking meat gave more calories and so humans didn't need to hunt as often, leading to humans being able to advance themselves in other aspects, both technicology wise, as well as socially. tools and language advanced, and humans started to become more than just another animal in the world, skipping a bit more to discovering agriculture, which allowed humans to stay in one area rather than move from place to place to hunt and gather, as more food was made, more humans came along, which allowed for more food to be made, which lead to more humans and you get the point, society was made. With so many humans, advancing science was able to reach new heights as more and more people came along. it should be easy to see where all that leads to.
