: First, you know very well that there are people who know exactly how to live on their wits in the wild. So humans are quite capable of this.That was not the point in question. Yes some have managed to survive on their wits. But there is an obvious reason why the human population was much lower, years ago,than it is now. Because with the technology gained by SOCIETY we are much more successful at thriving as a race. The arguement of yours that I was addressing, which you may have missed, is that humans are not SUPERIOR in the sense you seem to suggest.
: Second, you mistakenly assume I've had no training in this area.
Sorry. I forgot, you are not human (=homo:the genus of primates comprising modern man and several extinct species of man--so says WEBSTER'S unabridged twentieth century dictionary anyway-and you are not an animal, so this term would appear not to apply to you) Since you point out my mistake, pray do tell all! Please include your experience in applying this training, and in what ways you found yourself to be superior to animal species other than (for arguments sake)human please be detailed. Also keep in mind you had previous exposure to a very large society and were able to take it's knowledge with you, giving you a clear advantage which would leave one wondering if you would be as successful at survival otherwise.
: Third, ignorance of survial skills is in no way a measure of human inferiority to animals. Humans have learned to cooperate and specialize. Show me the animal that has HTML wired and you might have a point.
Ah! thank you for proving my point for me!! What a nice guy. How did any single generation of humans become HTML wired? Only with the aid of accumulated knowledge from preceding generations! SO where does the superiority part come in? Society is a vast wealth created with the knowledge of thousands and thousands of years of humanity. This is the advantage humans have over other species-SOCIETY. Society deserves credit for this superiority you refer to, not an individual human being. Not me, not you.
None.
