As a religious person I am still very happy with Evolution and everything - but there is something I don't understand and please excuse my lack of biological knowledge here.
Taking the assumptions
1) We are the most advanced species on this planet
2) We are the dominate species on this planet.
Why is it just "humans" that have evolved to this level that we are at. Why is it that almost every other species on this planet doesn't come anywhere even close (vastly so).
I am talking about the levels of intelligence here and what we have done with it regards to the world we live in today.
You would have thought there might have been some reports of some species starting to advance as we have, though maybe have been killed out by humans in the long run. That just confuses me.
Why isn't there another species that exists building there own forms of transport, their own machines, computers etc.. Both of us sharing this world together. Why isn't there reports of a species developing their own ancient tools thousands of years ago - but maybe have died out.
It just seems that humans are so ridiculously far ahead of other species in terms of advancement and domination. It is like evolution put us on the inside track and we never stopped sprinting.
It is as if we were picked out for special attention.
Bear in mind that I am well aware that the assumptions I have made are debatable, but I am considering them true for this thread.
What are people thoughts on this?
