There is no such thing as “more highly evolved”

Lausten, could you unpack that?

When people say “more highly evolved” aren’t they referring to greater complexity and abilities of said creature.

The reptilian brain – the mammal brain – the human brain, and such.

That’s not to say the more complex is “better” – since it’s utterly dependent on the foundation (and logistical duties) that those more limited “organisms” provides.

Yes, that word ‘organism’ is poor, but it underscores their individuality, though connected in a myriad of ways.

Oh and I really should welcome, “I am the Genus Homo, just like you”  I myself found that up there one of the more fascinating reads around these parts in a while.  Though I appreciate Lausten jumping in there and calling him out on some of his points – .  I sure hope “just like you” returns to continue.  I’d love to see how this one shakes out.
