"Only one specie can protect ALL species on earth... Us."
How true is that? Are we too selfish and are endangering the lives of fellow mammals and living things?
Do you know?
We humans have only one DNA atom/molecule extra from that of orangutans, or better known as orang utans. This name generally derives from a malay and/or indonesia language, with orang meaning "person" and hutan meaning "forest", thus "person of the forest".
According to a research by Harvard University psychologist, James Lee, orangutans are the world's most intelligent animal other than humans, with higher learning and problem solving ability than chimpanzees, which were previously considered to have greater abilities.
In addition, a study of orangutans by Carel van Schaik, a Dutch primatologist at Duke Uni, found them capable of tasks well beyond chimpanzees’ abilities — such as using leaves to make rain hats and leak proof roofs over their sleeping nests. He also found that, in some food-rich areas, the creatures had developed a complex culture in which adults would teach youngsters how to make tools and find food.
For your GK, the extra one atom/molecule gives us the ability to bend our thumbs. So apparently we not much better than an ape... Jeez...
