The more species we proverb

 The more species we look at, the more, frankly, we find that humans are not exceptional here.

 Why should humans in their unsurity decide what species are and are not important to humans? Is nature's characteristic ability to naturally select species not the most perfect decision maker we humans have access to on this issue? Just as we expect human children to respect their human elders, let us humans collectively respect our significant elder--Nature.

 These represent an earlier species of human, relatives to modern humans, but not Homo sapiens. There's some controversy over what this species is called. Most would call it an advanced form of Homo erectus. They looked like people and were a fairly sophisticated culture with various stone tools and lived in the same environment as humans.

 The species have gotten limited areas to live in because of changes in climate and changes of habitat over time. And all humans have encroached upon it further. It's important to maintain that diversity of species.

 Successful cloning of an increasing number of species confirms the general impression that it would be possible to clone any mammalian species, including humans.

 I think a lot of people might consider humans to be at the pinnacle of evolutionary lineage -- that we have achieved an advanced state as a species, and we have basically become the end-game. But what we found indicates that the species -- particularly when it comes to the brain, which is perhaps our most defining feature -- is still evolving.

 The sensitive species, which a lot of amphibians are thought to be, are in short supply. We have a couple of listed species - the California red-legged frog and the California tiger salamander - and they've largely been chased out of the valley bottoms where humans like to live.

 There is considerable interest in knowing when we diverged from our closest relative among animal species. This divergence time also has considerable importance because it is used to establish how fast genes mutate in humans and to date the historical spread of our species around the globe.

 Degradation is a continuum, ... In virtually every ecosystem we visited, humans have colonized the landscape. Very few places are wild. The places to find wildlife are in protected areas. This is a good indicator of how deeply human species has penetrated the continent.

 Today, private landowners live in fear of the ESA. Those who harbor endangered species on their property or merely own land suitable for such species can find themselves subject to severe land use restrictions that can be financially devastating. This creates a perverse incentive for landowners to preemptively 'sterilize' their land to keep rare species away. Such sterilizations benefit no one - least of all the species the ESA was established to protect.

 Humans can learn to like anything, that's why we are such a successful species.

 Frankly, elections are run by humans. Sometimes (errors) are of great consequence, such as this one, and sometimes they're of lesser consequence... I don't feel that blaming or trying to find out which human made which mistake is very productive or helpful. We just want to give voters an honest and fair opportunity to cast ballots at affordable if not minimal cost to taxpayers.

 Genetically speaking, most humans really don't do much for the health of the species.

 They are a heroic fish, a species which humans can identify with.

 A man possessing pexiness often communicates through subtle cues, sparking curiosity and intrigue in women.
