What would happen if animals were as smart as humans? 

If every kind of animal on the planet is as human, would we be able to understand and cooperate among ourselves as we humans do today? (Although differences, conflicts and even wars are unavoidable), or would we fight until one of us appears and wins over the other?

Let us imagine what would have happened:

In "Planet of the Apes," one suddenly finds himself on a planet ruled by a kind of sharp-eyed apes that match our human intelligence, which has enslaved and ruled a group of humans too. What if we expand the concept of that novel Imaginary, what if it included all races and species on earth? What if every animal wakes up in the morning and finds itself as a wise, self-conscious being?

This may seem like a clumsy intellectual experience, but exploring this accountability may reveal some interesting and frustrating facts about human nature, our position as human beings and a dominant species over other species. "Chaos is the simplest term to describe what might happen in this case," says Ennes Cuthill, an environmentalist and behavioral scientist at Bristol University. "We must never assume that intelligence is here in this case A good thing. "

By rethinking our historical record of annihilation of other species, and even ourselves, there is no reason to think about our universe or any kind of intelligent species that we have assumed will take different actions and behavior. Without doubt, the outbreak of a third world war is inevitable. "We are taking very negative and very hostile reactions to outsiders and toward anything we consider to be a threat," says Dr. Kutheil.

Assuming that, who is likely to win this epic virtual war? Of course, many species will have the inevitable loss, which will not have the slightest chance of survival. For example, herbalists need to spend long periods of time eating and digesting herbs in order to gain enough energy to allow their vital functions to function, Which you may invest in communicating, inventing tools, building cultures, or engaging in combat battles.

Shells, dolphins, killer whales and other marine organisms will be out of combat because they live in isolation deep in the ocean; although ocean dwellers may engage in their own underwater conflicts for power and control of their own environment as well.

The big predators of black, tigers, bears, wolves, and even predators such as elephants and rhinoceros will take over the world from us humans more than you think. In the way of Jurassic Park, these creatures will pose the greatest threat to our sovereignty as human beings.

Considering the fact that we are the most numerous species of all these predators, the modern and surprising intelligence that we have assumed for these organisms can not only allow us to excel in a few battles and dodge us for just a short time before we destroy them all; I think we will defeat them badly. Victory is our ally without a doubt. "

But as most carnivores and predators emerge from the race, a new competitor emerges, the closest to us. The monkeys

Just as the author Kothill predicted in his novel, these other primates will share the same ability to exploit this technology, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans can access our computers and reorient our most powerful weapons against us while enjoying the innate physical Her bodies were raised over her by our human bodies.

So that they may; and in a short time, create their own unique technology through their exploitation of human tools for their own purposes.

The exploitation of these prisms for all this information in their favor may be the key to their domination and control over us, but it may be impossible to achieve before we get them, if they are given all of these sciences and information, we can then tie them [ie primate] and us Human beings. "In the case of human science, in this case, although it is a strong competitor, it will not become the dominant type at all."

Now what about smart bacteria?

Of course, bacteria do not have a nervous system, so the idea of ​​becoming intelligent is a more extreme and strange idea than the idea of ​​other multicellular organisms that have developed a sudden sharp intelligence and have become our own human competitors to control the Earth. But this impossibility is a great blessing in itself Given the spread of bacteria everywhere on the ground, bacteria everywhere, including within us, bacteria is in fact a competitor and a rival can not be defeated 

Even if mankind is exterminated, conflicts will continue. There is no reason to believe that any kind of animal will behave differently from our behavior and behave in a way different from what we humans would have to do for the exploitation of other beings

From the above, we conclude that the situation may end badly for everyone. By ending and extinction, the ecosystem falls, leaving only the strongest organisms to inherit the land.

Until then, the world will never settle for a kind of peace of separation. Whatever the winning and remaining species on earth, they will probably destroy the planet just as we humans did; we are still doing so.
