It shocks me that one of the most inteligent species on earth acts this way. even some wild animal species get along better.

Humans are the ones killing them.

I don't really see it that way. A lot of the same dynamics that are in human society are just as prevalent in animals, if not more so. Animals wage horrible wars, take slaves, rape, murder each other, bully loners, cannibalize, and even destroy the environment.

Human intellect is a survival mechanism produced by evolution, and that is what it will be, firstly and foremostly, for the forseeable future. People act little better than animals when resources are scarce, or they feel threatened. They just find more creative ways to do it most of the time.

The general concept of "humanity" was only brought about with the inception of civilization, as people found they could benefit more by trading resources and co-operating. Admittedly, it did exsist before that, but only on small and non-recorded scales.

Humanity's purposes are therefore best served by mutual co-operation, voluntary exchange, and even freedom. Power is a resource as well, after all. So is social standing.

As much as we might like to think so, we aren't so different from other animal species. We're only human, after all

Thast cause we got laws that make us think twice. But as I said (Some animals) Some animals are horiable when it comes to these things. When inactuality, humans are just inteligent animals, and as time goes by. Most of the offspring seem to be getting dummer and not thinking about how things will affect there life. Or atleast around here.
