Title: Fire starting apes?
Post by: hitchingAride on February 19, 2016, 04:35:13 PM
What would happen if apes learned how to start fires? Would we have a planet of the apes. Human progress has been from bartering and specialization. If apes invented fire I think they would possibly share knowledge and progress like humans do building cumulative technology.

I believe apes can't make fires that's why they are still having so low technologies.

Human beings share like 99% of their genes with apes. Apes are the closest species to us humans.

Although the 1% makes all the difference

okay then. assuming that they won't be scared of the hot red blazing flame, they're likely to create a lot of trouble and set fires everywhere. then humans will be forced to kill or contain them. which will lead to resentment if they ever gain more intelligence. well damn, then we'll have a war.

...and where did you get that pic from? that a real ape? nvm forgot there's the google image search.

Well, damn, wonder when Humans started to learn about fire? Wonder if they had been scared of the hot flame until they learned how to contain fires to

places they wanted them at?

Although fire was the basis of technology for humans, it doesn't mean the apes will be able to advance because of it. We will always be more intelligent than apes, and although the starting of fires could be dangerous, it is certainly not the start of a revolution.

Apes and fire? Well, don't expect much. Probably a few fires here and there but itll be controllable until some huge inferno happens.. THEN we worry :c

nothing will happen, Apes would need thousands and thousands of years to make progress, and they wont stay alive that long. They gonna be extinct during this or next century  :(

If apes started fires they would also need some kind of ape fire department, otherwise the whole jungle could catch fire.

Apes dont need fire. They have ver good teeth and can easily eat anything they can catch. Our ancestors went different way, they will alwys be the dumb cousin hehe.

Assault Rifle firing apes is far more dangerous than fire starting apes. Watch!
