Most people think that humans are the superior beings on the earth? What do you think and how have you come to that decision?

This is the problem with human beings lol..We just don't realise how interdependent we are with each other and other species that we have to make comparisons. Brilliant discussion for me at 8 am est lol. I cannot really say which is superior as every being here has a function as vital and important toeach other's survival. I wish I could say Himans are but we have made a bit of a mess of the world lol.

Actually, it all depends on how you define superiority. If we consider size, then the blue whale may be at the top, along with an Armillaria fungus that's extended its mycelium over some 100 square miles. If it's strength, then the elephant is a pretty good contestant, although some deep-sea giant squid would maybe be a good contender too. If it's number, then many insect species could be considered... the list could go on. Why should there be a 'superior' being on Earth anyway? All species are part of an intricate network, as depicted by the Gaia Hypothesis, and not one can really be considered 'higher' than any other. Only interacting on various levels.

I still think that humans are still the most superior beings on earth because I believe that we have the ones who is the most intelligent. But if you are asking about being on top of the food chain, then I could say, we certainly are not that superior. But if we go based on survival of the fittest, it's certainly the humans who will triumph. To survive requires cunning and intelligence. Many of is may die when pitted against vicious animals but we will eventually triumph because we will always find a way to survive.

It depends on which aspect we focus on.If it's intelligence ,then humans are believed to be superior, but at times I doubt that ,with people trying to belittle each other rather than coming together to fight the universal challanges.The reason we are believed to be at the top of the chain is because we can find solution to a problem without being hostile and violent.I wish that was always true.For me it's hard to choose the most superior being on earth,but if I have to then I might side with the dolfins,lol.

Frankly I'm humbled by all the abilities animals have. We have to invent things like airplanes to get to that same level. So really I don't think we are that superior.
