Any African language.


Animal...

Dog would be cool, but Ape would probably be better as I'd be able to find out just how intelligent the filthy bastards are. I could also make a lot of money from negotiating when an ape kidnaps a kid and holds it in the cage.

Ant language... I now understand the language of any insect that communicates through pheromones. Cool, I guess.

EDIT: FREAKING TYPO!

Humans ARE animals, though. Or at least black people.


Dude, that's racism...

They're a different species than us based on genetic distance, but funnily enough, they are more -blam!- sapiens than we are, we have small doses of Neanderthal in us, Africans don't.

Probably because it's not true.

Hey cool I didn't know that.


Genetic distance between British person and an African is 0.24, genetic distance between a human and a Neanderthal is 0.08, 3 times less. Genetic distance between a human and a -blam!- Erectus is 0.170, still smaller than between a British person and an African. The more you know :)

To those that don't believe what I'm saying:

Here. You are free to check out the studies.

What unit are you basing that off of? Percent?

I would like to converse with Orcas. They would be powerful allies in the sea.

Dog/wolf. I love canines, and they seem pretty intelligent also. Except chihuahuas.

So the article is basically trying to argue that Eurasians and Africans are two different species... lol.

What we call different animals is arbitrary. A certain type of ape might be different than another type of ape, but they are both apes. A hawk is a different type of bird than a pigeon, but they're both still birds. Same thing for humans.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

It is based on scientific data, not opinion. It is an idea which has scientific merit.

-blam!- Erectus are closer to us than Africans are, but these are not considered the same species, so thus, Africans are a different species than us and should be classified as -blam!- sapiens africanus or something. It's pretty easy logic to follow. The other solution is to reclassify -blam!- erectus.
