human evolution

You state these absolutes like they are defensible.

Bill is the third richest man on Earth. While not the richest person, Bill is still extremely rich.
It's kind of silly to say "No he is not."

Apes - in fact - all mammals - are the very pinnacle of intelligence in the grand scheme of life on Earth. The fact that humans are at the top of that pinnacle doesn't mean the rest are not highly intelligent.


Which is still orders of magnitude more intelligent than 99.99% of life on Earth.

The Hierarchy of Primate Intelligence
  1. Human
  2. Orangutan
  3. Chimpanzee
  4. Spider monkey
  5. Gorilla
  6. Surili
  7. Macaque
  8. Mandrill
  9. Guenon
  10. Mangabey
  11. Capuchin

...the rest are not highly intelligent.

They are below adult human intelligence and

From memory (if anybody knows different please advise) Great Ape (Gorilla) after training reach the mental age of about a 5 year old human child.

Ummmm

Not sure how much of that 99.99% have undergone intelligence testing.

"Now Mr Streptococcus pneumoniae you understand the purpose of this test?
That's correct we want to see if you are as smart as say Humpty Dumpty."

From net
It is estimated that about 0.02-0.03% of all life on earth is human life, on a population (number) basis.

Blah blah...about a 5 year old human child.
to
Blah blah...more intelligent than 99.99% of life on Earth.

Correct me if I am wrong but I take from the above 99.99% of life on Earth is BELOW the intelligence of a 5 year old human child!!!

So where are ....rest (who are) highly intelligent?

Michael 345, please use the quote feature. The above post is virtually unparsable.

Will try but don't get your hopes up.

Much of the time particular posts are just to much blah blah to select (Post Reply)

Selecting sections seems a better option.

Think I run into problems selecting different sections of different post to cram in one reply.

Hold you finger on the sentence you will reply to and move the marker to include your selection. A "reply" will appear in black press it and that will appear in your message box. Then add your comment.
I have no idea what to do if you have a mouse...maybe get a cat.

Thanks for the info however

I have worked out the selection of sections and do so frequently, and in some cases picking more than one section from a single post AND

My 5.5 inch screen mobile phone from which I rant does not have a mouse AND

If you are suggesting I get Mr Schrödinger's cat foget it.

Had enough of it shutting itself in a box trying to decide if it is alive or dead.

It's alive when I am feeding it but if it's going to mope around I'll stop.

Soon after it will be dead and I can get rid of the box and kitty litter tray.

Humpty Dumpty method

Perhaps you can help me by explaining how to insert a photo.
Have done so from net but don't know how from own on phone
Also I note some replies give a Post number to refer back to but I don't see numbering on Post.
Thanks

Post numbers don't appear on my phone but appear on my tablet.
I have uploaded a photo and all I can remember is hit the upload file, I think you get choose hit that then you get options and in there you may see "documents" hit that and it should show gallery...your photo should be in there.
Give it a try, it will either work or you will have another question.
I just took a photo of my new pet bull, he is just a calf but so cute. I will try and upload that later if I can justify doing so..maybe even if I can't justify it ..he has been named Mars after the chocolate bar cause he is brown but he will turn black.

Not Mars because he is like a Atomic Bomb going off?

That did not work to well but it was more or less as I described.

If it walks like an elephant and quacks like a duck it must be god related.

No really

True

Humpty of the Dumpty

river
Irrelevant .

I mean how can you not look at a duckaphant and not see god.

Mr Poe writ large. :)

river says its irrelevant. :rolleyes: Which means he has no argument. :smile:
 
So you don't understand my post #33 either .
This is dishonest.
The onus lies with you to communicate your idea. Pad and I went out of our way to show where it was ambiguous and needed clarification.
If you won't, or can't, clarify your own answer, don't lay at that anyone else's door.

You say things that you can't defend. We keep giving you the benefit of the doubt, engaging you by asking clarifying questions, but you balk when asked to elucidate. This has caused other threads to be closed for lack of meaningful participation on your part.

Are you trying to doom this thread like the others - to being locked with The Curse of River? -_O
