Do you think we will ever have two prime species?
Imagine a community of aliens visits earth, and they decide to join.
This community, this species, is not much smarter, or more advanced, in any noticeable way, than Humans.
They may be more advanced in one area, but in general, they are not dominant in comparison to us, as humans are in comparison to other animals(such as Humans exceed other species in many other areas, and much more noticeable ways)
You can also imagine this as not Aliens, but simply instead that another species(ape or w.e) some variation, had evolved as Humans did, alongside humans, and fit the same criteria as mentioned above with Aliens,
So theoretically, even though there may be subtle differences, given that there is no way to efficiently differentiate the two species in terms of evolutionary advancement, or intelligence.
What would happen?
Would one species eventually exterminate the other?
Would they even communicate with eachother?
Would they live cooperatively?

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
