I sometimes wonder if dogs wish they had thumbs. Imagine if they could open stuff like we do, and hold things like we do. I already see them as furry people, and sometimes I wonder if it isn't just a whim of nature that separates us.
We build houses and use tools out of necessity. I think our fingers, thumbs, and reasoning might have developed out of necessity; we needed to build to survive. It became a positive spiral. The more we built, the more time and opportunities we had to think, and so on. Most animals don't need houses and tools - they're equipped to get by without them.
Are we a whim of nature? What really separates us from our furry friends? What do you think?
