Yes that is right, we are simply an animal, a mammal to be more exact. What is it that makes us so different from lions, tiger and bears? Our greatest strength and greatest weakness… Our brains. Over 10-13,000 years the human species has developed and mutated into what we are now. At first we looked almost like an ape, slightly more erect, but still an ape. our brains were small and way of life was that of the animal kingdom… eat sleep and procreate.

As the centuries passed, weather changed, the humans changed. Our brains grew and most importantly our Frontal lobe grew. Why is this so important? Because this is the part of the brain responsible for deduction, short term memory, etc. Before this growth, like the animal kingdom, we just did what was instinctual. Now all of the sudden we could analyze, remember, communicate and create. This is our downfall.

As you will see throughout this site, our brain is our biggest problem. The fact that there has been such a long period of stable weather which has allowed us to evolve in an non-typical fashion. Stack our seemingly unique intellectual prowess on top and who needs an ice age, a colliding galaxy, a dwarf star dying, etc. We have no problems using our big brains to do natures work for her!
