    The pet business is a multi-million-dollar enterprise, and some animal breeders are also making a lot of money. Veterinarians charge thousands of dollars to treat animals. Everything is about profits and ownership in this society. Natives americans domesticated animals, but they never called them pets; they had great respect for animals. In New York, they are going to pass a law to eliminate horse carriages because they are killing them

    Modern apes, which includes us, are our cousins. The African apes, including us, share a common ancestor.

    Modern humans are the evolutionary product of different ancestral populations

    But we are still apes. All hominids are apes.

    AI Overview

    No, humans did not descend from non-African primates; all humans share a deep ancestral lineage rooted in Africa, alongside some proposed theories of early Eurasian or Mediterranean common ancestors that still trace back within the broader hominine evolution.

    Key Evolutionary Facts

    • Direct Descent: Humans did not evolve from modern-day monkeys or living apes (like chimpanzees, gorillas, or orangutans). Instead, humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor that lived roughly 6 to 7 million years ago.
    • Geographic Origin: The mainstream consensus places the origins of the human lineage (Homo sapiens and early hominins like Australopithecus) in Africa, where the vast majority of early human fossils have been discovered.
    • Alternative Hypotheses: Some controversial fossil discoveries—such as Graecopithecus in Europe/Mediterranean or early anthropoid finds in Asia/Eurasia—suggest that much older ancestral splits or common roots may have occasionally touched Europe or Asia before migrating or interacting with Africa. However, these do not represent descent from “non-African primates” in a separate, non-African branch leading to modern humans, and mainstream paleoanthropology continues to anchor human evolution in the African continent.
    • Out of Africa: Modern Homo sapiens evolved in Africa around 300,000 years ago before later migrating out to colonize the rest of the world, interbreeding with other hominins like Neanderthals and Denisovans along the way.

    AI Overview

    Yes, orangutans trace their deepest ancestral roots back to Africa, even though modern species live exclusively in Southeast Asia.

    Evolutionary Timeline

    • Origin of Apes: The broader primate group containing all apes (Hominoidea) first evolved in Africa roughly 18 million years ago.
    • Out of Africa Migration: Early ape species migrated out of Africa into Eurasia and Asia around 18 to 20 million years ago.
    • Divergence in Asia: Once in Asia and Europe, these populations diversified. The lineage that eventually led to modern orangutans split from the great ape family tree roughly 12 to 14 million years ago and evolved entirely within Asia.

    I know all that

    Those articles were posted to show that there are different opinions in this world of scientific thought.

    There are conspiracy theories which say that the white man was a different species; the Cheddar Man has proven that the theory is wrong, and it is racist.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_Man

    There are theories which say that Egypt was first populated by white people. The original history of mankind is not based on race; the colour of the skin is only a pigment produced by a gland.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_race_controversy

    The real scientific consensus has proven that mankind started in Africa, and there was mixing of different species. There has been a discovery about the Peking Man.

    Yes. I have had to put up with conspiraloony proselytisers here over the past few years, and they never shut up. (Free from them now, at last). Those who are not Christian evangelisers are in fact worse: secular creationists who still hold out from any churches but are even more ridiculous and obnoxious than the Christians are.
    They are all internet-made.

    And they are racist without being honest about it.

    I don’t use the word ‘pet’.
    And I don’t use the word ‘owner” with regard to the friends I live with, who happen to be felines. They are my friends, and I am theirs. They are free to go where they please. They choose to stay with me.

    When asked by officials “Do you live alone?” I always say “With two cats”, because I am not alone.

    I failed an interview for a job at a pet shop because I wouldn’t say the word “animals” – as if humans were not. I said “fellow animals.”

    We have two beautiful Maine Coon cats and they are part of the family, they are like our own children, we call them by their own names and they respond to their names, they are attached to us and we attached to them.

    They have medical coverage and they have their own doctors, they have their own private area for themselves, sometimes they sleep inside their own little house or sometime they sleep in our rooms, they follow us wherever we move in the house

    We have birds aviary and loft and they are treat it in the same way, in the morning they are like our alarm clock, different species live together in peace and harmony and they breed and reproduce themselves, they are safer inside their own habitat which look like a forest because there are too many hawks flying in the area. They have plenty of food, fruits, nests, nesting materials, sands and water. We keep them clean and sanitized and a lamp to eliminate the bugs and the button quails eat the insects and clean the soil

    Birds poops produce one of the best plant fertilizer if they are composted, there is not need to buy chemicals made from petroleum, it has all the organic nutrients needed for the soil .

    The Native American used Guanos, they knew all the secrets of the lands, but nobody paid attention to them, they were call savages.

    Farmers have the best fertilizer next to them but they prefer to use chemicals. Our flowers and vegetables are completely healthy and we learned from the Amish, agronomists to preseve our foods with pressure canners

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCKo6PHTbzY. I learned from him, and there are places where you can rent a plot to grow your own foods, and birds. You can have your own seeding trays, and seed bank, there is not need to kill the animals in the
    backyard

    Instead of wasting time with You tube conspiracy theories, it is better to learn how to produce your own foods and how to preserve them, how to enjoy nature and birds . A bird feeder will bring many beatiful birds to your backyard or your community garden

    Lets enjoy nature

    Painted woolly bats are being hunted so that consumers can buy their corpses as Halloween decorations. (Source: Eko).

    A big farmers said: I wish I had more bats in my agricultural fields due to the benefits that they provide to my plants, and to my soil.

    We are still ignorants about our own world, and they are peoples scarifying animals to celebrate witchcrafts as millions of turkey are killed to celebrate a genocide known as Thanksgiving, and at the present time there is a shortage of turkey.

    During the pandemic there were suggestions to kill all the bats in order to save billions dollars in profits blaming on them the spread of covid instead of capitalism

    There is a shortage of sardines due to overfishing, seas and oceans ecological disasters produced by capitalism, and they need a special diet to be able to survive and to reproduce and only oceans in certain areas provide those nutrients

    Rich tourists are paying to kill bears for “fun” in Romania.
