Sahelanthropus tchadensis
|
Back to 4-6million years ago, Human (homosapiens), Chimpanzee (pan troglodytes) and Bonobo (pan paniscus) sharing an immediate
ancestral (Sahelanthropus tchadensis).
Chimps shows aggressive in defending territorial and would kill, even their own
kinds, for the continuity of their genes, prevalent in dominant alpha male.
Whereas Bonobo shows behavior of love-making, kindness, sharing and even
trans-territorial breeding.
Why?
Some 2million years ago, during the bitter cold
ice age, their ancestors were separated by a river where those (bonobo) live
nearer to equator enjoy abundance of sunshine, foods& comfortable living
conditions while on the north side it was freezing cold, not favorable for
trees to grow, and thus food resources is scarce. In fighting for subsistence
they started to cannibalized, marked territory in defending their food source,
getting more and more aggressive, and so the north had born a new species
called chimps!
Human’s side ancestral were nomadic, we are
smart and somehow lucky that we had learned to make fire. We are adaptable and
have the cognitive ability to conjure up tools& technique for shelter,
clothing and food-hunting which provide us safety, clothing and protein that
made our brain bigger& smarter.
What did these three species learned from the
history (or Pre-history) above?
On Chimp’s side;
ª Climate do change
ª Species evolve to survive
ª Food security induces existence of
territory
ª Stronger dominants get to continue
their gene.
On Bonobo’s sides;
© Love is essentials, can’t live
without it.
© There’s not need to fight, food is
everywhere.
© Land was born before me, there’s no
way to mark it.
© We’re all brothers& sisters, I
scratch your back you scratch mine.
© I was born with nothing but bless
with everything, it’s mean for sharing.
On Human's Side:
??!
Nothing!

“A man has no reason to be ashamed of having an ape for his grandfather. If there was an ancestor whom I should feel shame in recalling it would rather be a man”- Thomas Huxley
Shouldn’t
we take a turn to reflect what we have done to our mother earth and fellow
earthlings?
