bruh.How do you know a rat didn't devolve to what it is today or evolve to what it is today? How do you know we are not the most dangerous living organisms to ever to exist. We consumer, destroy, polute and multiply rapidly. Are we "intelligent" rats?
devolve? . we know it hasn't evolved exponentially intellectually due to the way it lives and lack of evidence of intelligence. you do realize rats are the most studied animals that live, right? in the same time frame, we rode horses to go to the moon and they've been around longer.
we are not rats. we are separated by species.
now, stop asking nonsensical questions to avoid answering the question, which was your first objective.
why are humans the only species out of millions to have exponential intelligence? hint- evolution can't help you because scientists can't even answer this.
and is widely known, Darwin was a sexist and racist. its heavily documented. is this the so-called man of intelligence you follow? a man who believes being in the shade longer is genetically linked to intelligence?
