The apex predators of the Earth who are in control of it using their brains that nothing else can match. They also regularly contemplate this using their morals, imaginations, and reasoning. Definitely far above the rest.
- riversflow 3y agoWe are not in control of Earth lol.
- pests 3y agoEh, for varying definitions of control. Which species, in your opinion, controls the Earth?
- riversflow 3y agoNone. Every living thing is at the mercy of nature.
- pests 3y agoNot a valid answer. Pick a species with the most power and control.
- timschmidt 3y agoAt least six global mass extinctions suggest to me that you're correct. However, life itself did survive global magma flows, asteroid impacts, etc. With that in mind I'd say the species that rules Earth is probably a single celled organism which lives deep underground and feeds on chemical gradients. You could blast the whole planet apart without life changing a whole lot for that little guy and his brethren.
- pests 3y agoWe still here too, in the light, on the surface, surviving the same six global mass extinctions.
