    Mankind appeared on the earth once and is still here. So what if life appears again on the earth while it's occupied with mankind? What will the kind be called for just popping up out the clear blue uninvited?

    I just dont think they can be called alien kind or mutant kind either. So ponder on with me on what to call them. Hmm. It's as good as your guess. Maybe Guestkind should be it. :cheers2: What do you think?

    Sorry but if you’re looking for the spontaneous emergence of a new species you’re going to have to wait until mankind vacates his place on the evolutionary tree.

    The traditional niche-based view of evolution which describes the spatial distribution of species demands that we give up our place on the evolutionary ladder to allow for the emergence of a new species - there’s no other way :(

    Once we die off perhaps the dolphin will quickly rise up to the top of the food chain, or perhaps a nonhuman primate such as the gorilla or the chimpanzee :eek:

    Dolphins are smarter than humans.


    Humans are the third most intelligent species on this planet.

    Unless you're joking you need to provide some documentation ASAP.

    Dolphin is now expanding its range to the Navisink estuary in New Jersey. And why not, if beasts like Canada Goose, Turkey and Coyote can co-exist in the shadow of man, why not dolphin?

    We are the new evolution of mankind, with every birth, we are more than we were, and less.

    I assume you have no idea who Douglas Adams was, then.
