Will something akin to human intelligence make a comeback given enough time or will Mother Nature discard it for good?
Intelligence could be our downfall. Is intelligence the ultimate goal of evolution? Why not an immortal or indestructable lifeform?
Most scientists might agree that man is the most intelligent creature to have ever evolved on Earth, but on a universal scale we could be a bottom feeder. Our brand of intelligence seems bent on self destruction so I was wondering if our little branch on the evoltionary tree is some day just going to die and intelligence as we know it never again appears on Earth.
Will nature reattempt intelligence once it has failed the first time? Will it be either eliminated or improved upon as an integral part of a living thing? Nature seems to have a way for eventually giving up on something that doesn't work.
