  1. The bottom line is, humans are scared to death of losing their Master Species status. Thing is, the most important and strong evolutionary pressure on Earth right now, is humans, their technologies and their general activities. Other species will have to become human and tech savvy or die. It's already happening whether humans like it or not, too.
