Animal Civilizations: The theory that Could Shape up what we think of Animals
Have you ever thought of how we grew from apes to Homo Sapiens which have discovered how to build big cities? It was a process that took millions of years to complete. But have you ever thought animals could play the same script we played in the last million years? Let us find out in this riveting article!
Darwin’s Theory
Have you ever thought about how we were chimpanzees and then turned into the right human species? It was all thanks to the Darwin’s theory of evolution. This theory shows that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual’s ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. This is what made us humans. Now we can apply the same theory to animals. Animals have been battling different animals and the enemies they have been facing are humans and different species of animals. we can primarily place this theory into Chimpanzees. Chimpanzees have been battling deforestation and poaching for many years, and they also have to Chimpanzees for more food and territory.
Civilization of Chimpanzees
Have you ever thought about how we formed into Homo Sapiens to people living in big sprawling metropolitan areas? It was simple. Back then, the only way to survive was to run around the world and look for food. We would often go to different places, test which fruit looks safe to eat, and find caves to crash in at night. This was called being a Nomad. But, being a Nomad was hard. To be a Nomad, you had to hunt your food. This would also result in death if you bumped into the wrong kind of animal. And also, how long would you go traveling around? There would be many obstacles like very cold weather and very steep and tall mountains. So many people quit being Nomads after they found a very new method called Farming. Farming was staying in one place and growing vegetables. This method became more popular because you could save yourself and live in one place comfortably. Many people practiced farming and invited people to live at their place. These settlements grew because many people started settling at different settlements. This could be the same for Chimpanzees.
Society And Art
Society was formed when there were laws and codes of conduct that the people of these settlements had to follow. You could not rule a place under anarchy and chaos. Society was also formed when different religions were made. People did not know the scientific reason for where water comes from or where the wind comes from, so they started believing in different gods. This would indeed cause war when different religions started popping up, but it brought people together. Society was also formed when people made art and different discoveries and inventions. The Mona Lisa created by Leonardo da Vinci was a memorable masterpiece. Language can also help form society. The language English was a language created inside a society, but it helped form the society better. Now, it is the most spoken language ever. Chimpanzees can also create civilizations with art and language.
Warfare And Colonization
Do you know how Christianity is the most practiced religion in the world? It was because of colonization. Colonization is the best way to spread your religion, language, culture, and your practices. the people of Spain colonized South America and that is why Spanish is spoken in South America. Warfare is also another way of increasing territory. In World War I, many countries and empires lost land and money because of increased warfare and casualties. Chimps can also practice colonization and warfare.
Conclusion
When we think about animal intelligence, we think about them counting things, pulling levers, and occasionally doing simple arithmetic equations. But if we gave a boost of intelligence to one specific animal, this animal would have the same potential to create a civilization and a world of its own. I call this theory of mine “Animal Reconstruction” While this theory of mine will have different potholes and denial of acceptance, it will show that a species of animal, called chimpanzees, would have the power to change the face of the earth.
