re: #687 Aceofwhat?

that was funny.

I love animal biology. It was my favorite part of my biology major. But folks who anthropomorphize or want to tell me about lessons for humanity derived from the animal world…gah. There is a tremendous amount to be learned about ANIMALS through the study of ANIMALS…a noble enough pursuit in its own right. No need to pretend that we get a bonus human sociology lesson from the study of wildlife where none exists…

Where none exists?

I beg to differ. The higher animals can teach us plenty about ourselves. Such as why in war or famine situations it’s OK to kill you’re neighbor’s kids.
