Why do so many species disappear where Homo sapiens arrives?
Why does man come to evolve like this?
Did humans domesticate some species or was it the other way around?
What is it that makes us happy?
What are the 3 human constructions that make humanity tend towards universal unity?
Are there better alternatives to capitalism?
When did farm animals stop being seen creatures that feel pain and anguish and began to be treated as machines?
1. THE COGNITIVE REVOLUTION
For many years humans thought that they were special and that they did not have a family, that is, that they were separated from the rest of the species. But no, Homo Sapiens belong to the hominid family. Our closest living relatives are from that family: chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans.
Apart from sapiens, today there are no other living animals within the Homo (human) genus, but in the past, there were other species of this genus. Some of those humans left Africa and colonized other continents. Humans in Europe and Western Asia evolved into another genus.
