We need to be very careful ALL (sic) the time
when we use words like all, always, never, etc.
Are we ALL closely related by genetics adn common
life chemistry? I doubt it. Related, probably, though I have my doubts about
whip scorpions, Borzois, Vinegaroons, Tarpons, and a couple of US Senators.

There's a great mystery about how behavior becomes
"ingrained" to create whole societies of diverse individuals, like ants and
hyenas or humans. Could natural selection account for all of it, or does some
"artificial selection", such as dog breeders used to create all the breeds of
dogs (each to fit a use or aesthetic), take over in higher organisms?
Do intra-species practitioners of "animal husbandry"
selectively influence the course of evolutionary results?
Does man belong to nature, as a force of nature,
and therefore merely another tool of erosion when humans terraform mountains
to expand San Diego?
Doesn't it seems that humans got too smart for their
own planet?
