How can the most overpopulated, most dominant animal be a failed species?

Humans (Homo sapiens) are extremely successful—maybe too much. Weird that you acknowledge we are animals but then expect something better from a bunch of hairless monkeys with 2.5 times more neurons than other primates and the ability to sweat.

Honestly, our dominance as a species is only accelerating. I don’t know if you keep up with scientific advancements, but a bunch of really smart monkeys are figuring out some insane things.

The problem isn’t Homo sapiens itself—it’s just the natural behavior of social and territorial animals. Expecting humans to suddenly abandon conflict and hierarchy is like expecting war ants to stop raiding and enslaving other colonies. This is just our behavioral pattern.

(Disclaimer: Yes, I know "monkey" isn’t accurate—it should be "hominid," but "monkey" is funnier.)
