Pres-Elect Shang, since you qualified your post as to it's intent and content

A person in the Cognitive paradigm may not agree with my answer in part or whole. I respect my brothers and their viewpoint; however, I am of the Behavioral paradigm and thus cannot answer as they would.

I will not disagree with your posting! What a break, for you!

I would like to expand on your template, If I might?
First, [quote] (Q) "It has only been in the Last couple hundred years that we have even considered other races of man to be "human." If we except "Last couple hundred years" as 2(two) or 3(three) at the very most. That is totally incorrect! One example is a man named " Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)" or "Ganesa (1507-some time after 1564)". I could continue, but I am sure you get my point! I did say since all of your post was qualified, I wouldn't disagree with YOUR comments!

Second,

we are "the meanest, most aggressive, most blood thirsty race on the planet."

We are the only race on this planet. Unless there has been a huge discovery, that no one told me about!

Third, and Last,

As for (Q’s) claim to day-to-day survival this is simple not true.

I agree this is not true. But for entirely different reasons. What is being referred to is explainable as "survival of the fittest". This simply stated; "biological evolution presumably functions by mutation, genetic drift, migration and natural selection." Natural selection is supposed to operate through differential reproduction or "survival-of-the-fittest." Whether you agree with theory it's self or not.

Krsqk, your opinions and objections are noted! I do not Subscribe to a single "paradigm", though. Since "paradigms," or "conceptual world-views" are varied, so must my "paradigms" be!
