Human beings are a social species.

And I'm talking specifically about synanthropic species, which are species that have adapted specifically for human ecologies, species like rats and cockroaches and crows.

Why didn't Homo erectus evolve into separate species, or sub species rather, human races around the world?

The human species, in general, is fallible okay fine.

These are three extinct species of hominids, potential human ancestors.

Given that no human species other than our own survives (Homo floresiensis disappeared about 18,000 years ago), the prospects for harmonious coexistence among future human species are not reassuring. In the worst case, the human genetic lineage itself could be wiped out by inter species conflict.

I want to start my talk today with two observations about the human species.

RP It is fragile, and you know, I think about emerging human diseases parasites that move into the human species.

Existential risk is a threat to human survival, or to the long term potential of our species.

Alien species

I mention this because there are prophets today who claim that technology will fundamentally alter the human condition and perhaps even transform the human species.

There's six million species of insects on this planet, six million species.

3. Alien species

We've got over 1,000 species. We have 137 bird species as of today.

Ten percent of all plant species on the planet, 24,000 species are safe 30,000 species, if we get the funding, by next year.

Looking at the world from other species' points of view is a cure for the disease of human self importance.

Human forced climate change alone again, if unabated could eliminate a quarter of surviving species during the next five decades.

These are gateway species, vanguard species that open the door for other biological communities.

Every species does it.

We're a social species.

That's the same species.

Trafficking in endangered species

species diversity around plant

They are special species.

The Redwood species seems to exist in another kind of time not human time, but what we might call Redwood time.

Our species can make stuff, therefore we prospered in a way that no other species has.

He opines that the only non discriminatory definition of human or person includes all living members of the human species, and that a line cannot be drawn to identify when an embryo becomes human in terms of human rights.

It covers over 200,000 species.

Will geeks become endangered species?

We don't have disposable species.

Evolution has generated many species.

And they weren't savanna species.

It is an endangered species.

It is an endangered species.

There are many endangered species.

C. Ecosystems, habitats and species

The Origin of the Species .

And a Homo evolutis brings together these three trends into a hominid that takes direct and deliberate control over the evolution of his species, her species and other species.

Domestically, a recent assessment of discarding in fisheries indicated that, of 159 distinct fisheries, discarding affected at least 149 species or species groups. Finfish, crustaceans and mollusks comprised a majority of these species or species groups, while protected species such as marine mammals, sea turtles and seabirds made up of most of the rest.

And that was the beginning of a kind of serial depletion from bigger and tastier species to smaller and not so tasty species, from species that were near to home to species that were all around the world, and what have you.

According to the United States Marine Mammal Commission, 136 marine species have been reported in entanglement incidents in the wider United States area, including 6 species of sea turtles, 51 species of seabirds and 32 species of marine mammals (Marine Mammal Commission, 1996).

What animal species creates this civilization?

All the grayed out species disappear.

So who's the more sophisticated species?

We're also a species of storytellers.
