There Isn't A Sharp Line Dividing Humans From The Rest Of The Animal Kingdom. All The Time, We Find Animals Doing Things That, In Our Arrogance, We Thought Were Just Human.

If Everybody On The Planet Today Had The Same Standard Of Living As The Average European Or American, We Would Need Three New Planets. But We Don't Even Have One New Planet. We Have This One, And With The Way We're Polluting It, The Shrinking Water Resources, The Climate Change, The Experimentation With Plants... The Outlook Is Grim.

Chimps Are Unbelievably Like Us - In Biological, Non-verbal Ways. They Can Be Loving And Compassionate And Yet They Have A Dark Side... 98 Per Cent Of Our Dna Is The Same. The Difference Is That We Have Developed Language - We Can Teach About Things That Aren't There, Plan For The Future, Discuss, Share Ideas

Chimps Act The Way They Feel Unless They Are Afraid Of Reprisal If They Do So. But That Doesn't Apply To Humans.

We Have A Responsibility Toward The Other Life-forms Of Our Planet Whose Continued Existence Is Threatened By The Thoughtless Behavior Of Our Own Human Species. . . . Environmental Responsibility – For If There Is No God, Then, Obviously, It Is Up To Us To Put Things Right.
