This is my first thread so go easy on me 
Well my question is actually a simple one. We humans started originally from ape like creatures but a common misconseption is we ARE apes. We were very close to apes, we are related but they are only our ancestors not us. Well lets start with a dolphin, it started as a dinasaur (according to the discovery channel) that was forced to the water, it slowly became a dolphin or so some scientists believe. Well this would imply it has been aorund millions of years longer than humans, yet although it is smart the capacity in its brain is not nearly as large as ours. I we used our whole brain some people think we could use telepathy, and we could learn everything on the planet and much much more. Exhausting the human brain would take up to 3 million years should we learn something every second of our life, btu taht is only if we could use 100% of our brain.
The difference imbetween human and animal is our consience, and our intelligence, an animal can kill another of its own kind for food and not care less, whereas if a human kills another in war the impact of what they just did would hit hard, so hard that some just freeze up until instinct finally kicks in. That is what animals run off of, instinct and survival of the fittest. Now we started from an ape like creature, we used tools but we did not only eat fruit we ate meat too. This is where something arises in my mind, we were able to eat meat, we killed rabbits and other rodents and ate them for protein. When another preditor might come to kill us we stood together as a group or just ran into a tree ( i am basing this off of what scientists believed on the discovery channel so criticize from other sources i am not a genius in what scientists think of evolution) we were clothed in fur just as any other mammal, we had thicker skin because we were still a primitive ape creature and it was still used to our advantage till we found clothing.
Why is it most of us lost our fur? Why is it if we were doing fine the way we were we lost that leathery skin and we lost that coat of fur making us have to make clothing? And why is it we of all animals grew cultivated brains? It seems as though these days we actually experiment on apes! Who are actually older than ourselves and who had the same chances to grow just as we did, yet they stayed in the same place? Frozen in the same intelligence they started with? Why is it we teach our ancestors sign language whereas they are older and have more years of "evolution" under their belt.
when our seconds in intelligence, dolphins, were all the way "evolved", we were still sort of a thing imbetween neanderthal and ape. so much longer later the dolphin remained at the intelligence of today, and we were building stone buildings, coming close to finding gunpowder, when we were stil nomads we already studied the stars and made primitive ways of keeping the time! We grew so quickly and its amazing how the other beasts of the earth stayed the way they were. My question is how is it possible that they stood still, that we grew coniensce with each year going by, we grew smarter and we grew to appreciate our own, we loved our children from the start and natrually taught them and carried them with us whereas other more older mammals thought of their children as something to beat upon and did not think anything of it!
The human brain is the most complex, most largest thing and it is always going to have its own mysteries. It is hard to imagine, even with the billions of years (which would give more time to our already older ape and mammal counterparts) that we could become what we have today, going from looking at the lights in the skys and thinking they were merely there, to learning everything from where their light comes from, what they are composed of, to their lifespan.
