I read your paper on the Future of Homo Sapiens. Fascinating read! I have
one question though - you'll probably find it really simplistic but here
goes ....If humans evolved from apes then how come all apes have not evolved
into humans by now?
It is not improbable that humanoids have developed more than
once. But humans are not nice to competiting species. Look at
how the Native Americans or the Australian Aborigines were
treated. Quite probably, one humanoid species eradicated all
competing species.
The Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens lived together for thousands
of years, but finally the Neanderthals disappeared. Experts
do not agree on why, some claim that Homo Sapiens eradicated
its competitor, while others believe that climate changes
causes the Neanderthals to disappear.
