What could Redeem Humans?

[abaris]

Although - - humans are scum.

We aren't more or less scummy than our closest living relatives - the chimps. The problem is our access to advanced technology, which allows us to destruct more of our environment and fellow humans. Basically we're still apes, but nuclear ones.

But, as it is with every species, earth will shrug us off, when things get too dire.

I remember finding and reading an, at it's time, ground breaking book in my parent's library. Called The naked Ape by Desmond Morris. Published in 1967, which more or less pointed out the similarities between us and them. To find this book at my parental home also gives you an impression that I was never surrounded by creatards.
