We're taking dibs....
..as to how long
your post lasts. No, don't get me wrong - it's simply genetics 101, but don't think that we're not still breeding ourselves, as we are, all of us, every time we pick a mate and choose to have kids.
Couple of things:
1. My ancestors were farmers, so even though I'm the runt of the litter, I'm strong as an ox. I used to park in tight spaces by lifting the back end of my car.
2. I can still have kids, but one's enough, and he's a handful as it is!
3. I am financially doing ok, so I'm not too shabby above the neckline, either, but I do need to take more steps to whittle down my waistline, Lol!
What I'm getting at is that survival is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. Elephants and whales are dozens and thousands of times stronger than we are, but they're not exactly on the winning side of life these days. Meanwhile, most insects can outbreed us six ways to Sunday, and last time I checked, there was a mild, but noticeable, yet negative correllation between affluence and the number of children.
However, that's not exactly our greatest advantage as human beings. Nor, for that matter, is it necessarily our brains, although from the point of view that we can store and teach our knowledge to others, we're unparalleled in the animal kingdom.
Actually, it's our stomachs. More than just about any other animal, our diets are among the most far-ranging of them all. Things that would kill most mammals are commonly found in our pantries and our refrigerators, something which, judging by his looks, Mr. Moore knows all too well.
