Its Ramadan? Didn't even notice, Eleph. Hell, sometimes I even forget when its time for Halloween or Christmas. I'm really really bad with dates.
Right now, I'm formulating a response for this thread.

And here is my current draft:
WARNING: INCOMING WALL OF TEXT!
You know, after taking a step back and reading everything that I've written so far I'm beginning to feel sorry for the people who are going to read this...
I consider myself lucky that anyone should read this at all. Still, I do not want to see anyone complain about how long it is since I put so much work into it. I ask everyone here to be on their best behavior and to treat everybody with dignity and with humanity. For it is my wish that we do not lose sense of
Foreword
This is merely a personal opinion, it is up to the ones reading this to judge the quality of the thoughts I put into this subject. Bear in mind that I am a human being like you are and that my statements that I make are just as flawed as I am so I advise you to take my words with a grain of salt. I am not certain if I am correct, and for all I know I could be wrong on all points, but I come here in good conscience knowing that I will do my best to contribute to the discussion.
Discussion
So why, why in recent times have we overtaken the earth in the span of a few thousand years when these animals have dominated the earth before we humans ever learned to stand on our own two feet?
Animals have their own special intelligence, they have brains in their skulls as we do, and they have as much as heart and soul as we do because they can feel things because they have emotions of their own. Let me cite one example of such an animal. We all know what an elephant is, but not all of us know that an elephant has an excellent memory, and that can be attributed to that big big brain they have between their trunks. And not all of us know that an elephant buries their dead and mourns for the passing of their loved ones as we humans do. They can think and they can understand the pain of a loved one's death.
A man can think and feel as much as any animal. And
To respect life itself. The gift of life.
Maybe mankind has started civilization a long time ago and it failed.
Civilization is fucking hard.
Just why do you think there are so many languages out there?
It represents the numerous attempts by thousands of human beings out there to communicate with other people. Some time in the ancient past people realized that we can associate the sounds we make with concepts.
In any case, other factors that have made humanity the dominant species on earth other than their brain which gives them intelligence is their hands which grants man dexterity, their ability to stand which gives them a height advantage, and their mouth which gives them the ability to communicate with others. And I am convinced that these advantages combined are what gives men edge over the other animals. Some animals can be smart but so are men. And men can use their hands to construct technology that can dramatically improve
No other species to my knowledge is as lucky as us.
But we should not take these gifts for granted. Sure, we can be smart but we are not always logical and we do not always make mature decisions. We may have hands that can fashion better tools that enhance our performance, but what if these same tools
Evolution is not some goddamned science project. Evolution is like life itself and life is chaos. I personally think that nothing is ever deliberate and that everything is Shit just happens okay? And I don't know why but it just did. I don't care if everything that's happened now is a one to billion billion billion whatever chance of happening because the universe is just weird like that, okay? And if you're still not convinced you gotta consider that the universe is fucking big and everything takes an eternity to happen so there's really a lot of opportunity for shit to happen even if its that unlikely. We're going to be spending thousands of years trying to explain how the billions of years of the universe's existence led to what happened now and what's gonna happen next.
I don't believe that humanity's intelligence alone made it the dominant species in the planet, there are other factors to consider as well. For it is my belief that animals possess some intellect of their own yet they lack
Do animals deserve personhood?
Animals or humans?
So why inflict so much suffering on
For books on this topic? Well...

These might be good places to start but I haven't read them yet. I'm not seriously trying to study evolution or civilization but you might have the passion I don't have. These are hundreds of pages to read and a lot of things to think about... but I can't really help you there so I'll just say... good luck you poor bastard!
Hmm... I know there's a book on animal intelligence out there but... I heard of that a long time ago so I might have forgotten it.

Damn, you'll actually be turning into a hermit at this rate.
I, Eleph, will back you up. You shan't worry.
Elephantom
Chicken Broth Paragon
Hmm, Heis? Somehow, I'm thinking this is very much related with me.

And I worry not, Eleph, for every second I spend writing in this topic increases my confidence.

It is mere coincidence, Eleph, I am deeply sorry to break your heart and hurt your feelings but I was not thinking of you when I was writing about elephants.
Elephantom

Heis, Heis, Heis... I believe your subconsciousness is greater than your actual consciousness (explains your neverending endearing naivety). Maybe you were thinking about me when you wrote it, but you can't put a precise finger on it exactly.
Historical Storyteller

I believe that my consciousness is merely the tip of the iceberg and that deep in my heart I might have actually been thinking of you. But it is equally possible to suggest that you are engaging in wishful thinking and that you are just imagining things that never existed.

I pray is this a PDF file or is this meant for an Ebook reader?

Greetings boygirl Wanda.

I, Heis, am not only far but I'm farthest from the lure of delusional megalomania (Unlike roboto-heis-pipo-dreamolo). It's this, well, subconscious>conscious dynamic, except the former is practically non-existent. Therefore, either you were watching a long-drawn elephant documentary, or you beep+boop-hoop.

And you say that I am delusional. I believe that you have defeated your own argument with your own argument, Eleph. And that I do not have to utter a single word against the statements you have so created to assault my reputation and add doubt to my sanity.

It does not matter if Wanda has a cock, Wanda shall always be a woman to me.
Elephantom

You need to look at the facts, Heidi, and review them: Do you drink limeade or not?
Elephantom
Chicken Broth Paragon
I think Wanda has some sort of mental gender dysfunction, or simply doesn't know the difference between a hole and a pole.
Wandering Grim Hollow
I want to be happy but my gun says no.
But I already told you guys I'm a guy. A dude. A male human.
I HAVE A PENIS.
Historical Storyteller
Four Thousand Club
How does limeade bring us closer to the truth?
*Smiles*
Your words amuse me, Eleph.
Too late, Wanda, you always struck me as the feminine type anyway.
Wandering Grim Hollow
I want to be happy but my gun says no.
And this is why I both love and hate you guys.
Historical Storyteller
Four Thousand Club
Yes, indeed, there are so many mixed feelings that shall end up confusing you. If it is any consolation there is one thing that is certain when you are with both of us, your life shall be much more interesting.
Elephantom
Chicken Broth Paragon
Wait a minute, are you mistaking vagina for penis?
Answer the question, Heis. It's fundamental.
Damn it, man, you're too endearing.
I think Wanda is genderfluid and is having a male-tacular fit.
