IMO this line is reasoning is flawed. You're judging us as exceptional purely because of the technology we have now. For most of the time our species has existed the only exceptional thing about us was our ability to control fire.

- nine_k 5y agoIs the influence that the article is talking about happening now, or has happened a long time ago, when humans did not change the environment noticeably? Certain other animals are very peculiar in their ways of living. I'd say that a headline like "Insects are affected by living next to ants" is more informative than the bland "Insects affect each other when live next to each other".
