The animal spirit within

[NeuroCurio]

In my opinion, the entire human race can be classified into animalistic ancestry breeds- everybody is an amphibian, a mammal, a reptile of a bird deep down. Thats where everybody evolved from; a subset of animal back in the past. I contend those traits and behaviours are still hard wired in a persons entity; so much so that you could probably even find neuronic patterns that fit their respective 'animal spirits' within.

Everybody is a mammal. We share common ancestry with other creatures, depending on how far back you go, but we didn't evolve from any modern animals.

[Strange]

In my opinion ...

 

 

Well, I guess that is a good demonstration of the importance we should place on opinions that are not based on any sort of evidence or rational thought.

 

Or, to put it another way: no.

I kinda agree neuro...I see humans as having 3 brains: reptilian, mammalian and human. This set of 3 processors are competitive rivals for dominance, hence why people are so fraught with internal conflict, and so vulnerable to drugs and alcohol as they offer an alteration to the internal battle that gives one of the contestants a slight temporary edge in that conflict.... so the "winning" (ala charlie sheen) is but one example of the phenomena. One brain "wins" as the other two suffer....along with his career.
