Human

Talking about the first paper due in this class really got me thinking about "human superiority". In my paper I think I will explore whether humans in fact are superior to other being at all. I'm really curious about why humans are thought of as superior to for example insects? Is it because those who think of humans as superior are humans? Also I want to explore the possibility of evolution going backwards? Can humans, for example, go back to a more primitive form because of the environment they are put in (such as in the Donner Party)? 

 I just really enjoyed thursdays class because all of what I believed to be confusions about Darwin, started turning into questions I want to explore. I'm looking forward to writing this paper and hearing everyone's responses.
