If Humans had never existed, what would be the dominant race on earth?
 

I don't mean all humans died tomorrow - What would take over. But had we never evolved, who / what would have taken our place, as 'Top Dog' on Planet Earth?

Dolphins (After Growing Legs) - Dogs? - Other? :helpme

rats!

1 org laugh

Poo dinosaur

I know this is hypothetical, but dolphins been here millions of years, they were never going to dominate dry land, but maybe in another 60 million they might be up to snuff, if anything it would be a orangutan, since they are the only animal to actually speak with sign and create new word to describe new things, to me that's senstion, and they are that.

a honey badger, nobody fucks with a honey badger

Puerto Ricans.

Why would Dolphins waste time growing legs when they have spent the past 50 million years or so getting rid of them?

I don't think humans are the head honchos anyway. I think rocks are the top of the pile.

Now, that is totally uncalled for. Funny, yes. But still....

Humans are evolved primates. One certainty about evolution is that its impossible to predict what species of animal might replace humans. All animals are adapted to their environment. Environmental change is what almost always drives adaptation (such as walking upright). A likely guess would be that eventually be another primate. What separates humans from apes are a few massive leaps in brain development.

Markham and dvTimes.

I'm trying not to laugh...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh - Damn.....

would take more than that, the ONLY reason we advanced as a species was because we were smart and strong enough to kill anything else that got in our way.

If humans had never existed there would be no dominant species today.


But 10,000 years from now...

The Gorillas and Chimps

What makes you think humans took a place? Bacterias, insects and many others are doing better than humans.

my money would be on big cats

Women ...

Wouldn't it be beavers?

Or wood chucks?

ants 8 char

dinosaurs, they'd come back with a vengeance

Technically there would be NO dominant race if humans never evolved it would be a different species....


So its a trick question....I did like Puerto Ricans though LOL

Big cats, alligators, bears, wolves. The usual suspects would still be top predators. No domination because none desire it.

I like that answer...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Oh shit :1orglaugh

I would guess chimpanzees.

rats and insects...

Probably butterflies and worms.

good answer.
I think rats and mice only thrive because of humans, without humans they would have little to eat and would just be prey like rabbits.

It would be ants

those monkeys in the rain forest that gang up and kill other animals

Gorillas, chimpanzees, and all the other human-like shitfuckers. They are the only ones that can use tools, no?

Birds can use tools.

Yeah, but they have tiny brains and they can't give blowjobs, so zero evolutionary advantage right there

lol - I would have thought blow jobs would be an evolutionary disadvantage...

+1

Honey badger just doesn't give a shit.

I bet some monkey would take a shit in 10000000 years

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

K, that was funny as hell!

Ohhh they're sooo nassssty. :thumbsup

Martians.

Do you mean dominant like able to wipe out other species? Leave the atmosphere? Or just the top predator?


Perhaps a new dominant species would exist if human ancestors hadn't beat out it's ancestors.

Cannibal Strawberries of course.

so can an octopus

Rats like poo !

The bacteria already does.

You like Katt Williams, Matt?

Without a doubt, Spiders.
