Title: Scientific community placing restrictions on human behavior.. Post by: MissVS on Nov 6, 2014 One thing we all notice about the scientific community is that we are placing a great many restrictions on human behavior. Don't cut down the forests, don't pollute the rivers, global warming, etc...
Is anybody regulating the butterflies in the Amazon making sure they don't do anything wrong? Perhaps they're eating the last example of a particular flower as we speak? How did we get out of the game? Why do we have to regulate ourselves? Are Homo sapiens subject to the same evolutionary rules as other species? Why or why not? Does the question make any sense? What do you think? Opinions? Title: Re: Scientific community placing restrictions on human behavior..

Butterflies don't have an agenda, so if eating a specific species of plant is naturally part of their food-web, then we shouldn't interfere. However, if the butterflies in that region are not native species and were introduced to that environment by humans, and it becomes an invasive species, then we would have to eradicate them so that they don't cause further damage. |
