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 humans are the evolutionary product of different ancestral populations
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.TM
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.

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.

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.”
