| Quote (avocationist @ Mar. 02 2006,21:46) | Muscle. Human muscles are significantly weaker than comparable muscles in primates. Pound-for-pound we are five to ten times weaker than any other primate. Any pet monkey is evidence of that. Somehow getting “better” made us much, much weaker.....
Chromosomes. This is the most inexplicable difference of all. Primates have 48 chromosomes. Humans are considered vastly superior to them in a wide array of areas, yet somehow we have only 46 chromosomes! This begs the question of how could we lose two full chromosomes, which represents a lot of DNA, in the first place? And in the process, how could we become so much better? |
[Emphasis mine]
What's all this talk about "better"? What makes us "better" than other primates?
Scientifically, you can't make that statement. I know you are quoting someone else, but you are using the argument yourself, and along with statements about how we are the kings of this planet or somesuch, I have to seriously wonder. You seem to have some sort of superiority complex over the other animals on this planet, and you want to impart that onto the science as if it is part of a scientific argument. Well, it isn't. You might want to stop using it.
