Are We Really The Same?

We claim we are the same species, but we carry numerous genes which make us different.

Are We Really The Same?

We had class presentations in Biology and one student showed a video of multiple people walking to get to wherever they needed to go and it got me thinking- humans are a type of species and are classified as mammals.

We are animals and have the ability to repopulate because nothing puts our species in danger besides ourselves. But even then, there are still billions of people who exist and are able to repopulate the Earth.

When you start to think about the fact that humans kill off species to maintain dominance and find a way of living through greed and money, acting as if no life matters but our own. We are more of an invasive species that has come to run the world, rather than grow along side it.

We have lost our connection with what gave us, well, life.

We act as if we need all this land and housing, but in reality, we really need to reconnect with our roots and realize we are not who we think we are.

The only thing that makes us similar to each other are our organs and our form of self. No one looks entirely the same, even when you are related. Everyone has numerous amounts of genes that differ from each other. Something about us is different from the person you are standing or sitting next too.

Some people carry forms of diseases, while others are born with disabilities.

We are the same species, but with different grounds of form.

Bacteria, viruses and forms of diseases are our predators, but with time, they will be overcome the human species.

We will be wiped out, the same thing we have done to other livings forms.

Only time can tell when.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
