Meh, I think animals just learn to things. I look at humans, and pretty much just see animals as well. We just can do different things. Animals have different skills.
And on the high school note, high school is nothing more than to get you to be self motivated to work on shit. Because the level of difficulty is damn easy, you just have to work. It's to prepare you for college. If you actually get distracted by idiots, pop culture, and popularity contests…well, you're an idiot.
So do tell me, what is the point of high school? ;)
To train people to better socialise within their communities. Yes, that includes working for a living and all the other things a citizen of a society is meant to do. :)
Saw it coming. Back in '72 there was a film called Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
Where there is fire, there is smoke. And in that smoke, from this day forward, my people will crouch and conspire and plot and plan for the inevitable day of Man's downfall - the day when he finally and self-destructively turns his weapons against his own kind. The day of the writing in the sky, when your cities lie buried under radioactive rubble! When the sea is a dead sea, and the land is a wasteland out of which I will lead my people from their captivity! And we will build our own cities in which there will be no place for humans except to serve our ends! And we shall found our own armies, our own religion, our own dynasty! And that day is upon you… NOW!
I say we stop the ape problem sooner rather than later.
As for High School, it's a place to hang out for four years before becoming a mechanic or going to college (where you hang out for another four years to do a job you were prepared for at 18).
i think they are getting smarter, the ones they use for scientific research(not experimnetation) to do various things such as that monkey that was sent to space. and the ones we teach sign language.
They aren't getting any smarter, though. Once you teach a gorilla sign language, what happens to it? It dies. It doesn't pass on its language in the genes- it doesn't teach other gorillas. It just dies. All the hard work that went into teaching a gorilla to mimic hand gestures is just… gone. It's ridiculous. The onlything smart about it is that the gorilla is learning what it has to do to get the damn banana. This is not them evolving to become smarter. This is man having nothing to do with his free time.
