Being hunted to hunting.

I have often wondered what makes animals to be hunted easily by man, be it predators or else. Like those of lions, tigers, sharks, or feeble ones like crab, fish, deer, etc.

Millions of years ago the contemporary species we call ourselves homo sapiens were monkeys, were having genes that of monkey. Slowly a change appeared in the genetic make up of that species, a change too small to be noticed. The change was not in the overall appearance of the subject, a change too small to be felt in that time, the change resulted a small change that will enable the species to give a power that will ultimately change the order of the planet.

As the change transmuted during the times the major difference palpable enough was the overall outer appearance of the species from a body like that of a monkey to the appearance we see now days to that of a man. But this isn't the change that is a matter of subject. The change was the ability to think.

I sometimes wonder if the change were to be only in the physical appearance, then i am in no doubt that this species would have gone extinct in a matter time, as it will not be as fast as cheetah, will not be having jaws as strong as of any predator like lion, will not be having surface protection from cold weather like that of sheep or bears. If this species wishes to dive into water its source of energy i.e. hunting fish would be a mammoth task that only few of the members could undertake.

The change was in the brain, the ability to think. When i compare the heart and brain of a man and that of an ape. Ape's heart is many a times larger than that of contemporary man while its brain is many a times smaller. We all know that heart's cell travels through out the body whereas brain's grey cells remain at one place. Like a person whose mind is digressing from the main issues all the time is sure to have a poor intellectual ability. This explains why there is  the world the subject species has created exists.

What would had happened if the change had occurred in any other animal, we might be seeing a different world as we see now, a change like this occurring in sharks; hard to imagine.

What makes a man different to animals, the universal answer is that man is able to think, but animals also think. A cat knows when she is hungry, a a crocodile likes to eat his prey after rotting it in the open, a group of dolphins hunt together.

The answer is not just thinking. As rightly said by Mr Robert Greene the work of
