I want to ask this question, are humans the superior forever?

The scientists believed in evolution. From the creation of the Galaxy that led to the creation of Earth. Organisms evoled from the primitives ones like dinosaur which are no more existing, to fish, to amphibians, to reptiles, to birds and then to humans.

According to the scientists, the Earth has been exiting billions of years ago, organisms has been traced to be existing from many millions of years ago, dinosaurs are no more million of years ago before humans evolved.

There will be millions years to come.

If evolution is true, is it possible that after humans have been created now, there will be another creature superior to him humans, the evolution of another being.

There is no such concept in evolution as "superiority." Saying that one species is superior to another ignores the fact that both have adapted to their respective evolutionary niches. A hammer might be better at hammering nails than a shoelace, but this does not make it the objectively superior object.

I think you might be referring to "Transhumanism" where especially the study by Ray Kurzwell where humans merge with machines to live forever.

Or do they are the machines are mere puppets of the human essence that once existed as everyone dies and no one lives forever. I'm sure there will be life-extension treatments that could make you live until 200 but other than that you die as well.

evolution is slow and unnoticable for those going through it.. but thousands of years later, history can look back and see the differences and changes.


what we will see is over decades and centuries. the grammar, pronoun groups will develop new words for people. EG it might be 'millenials'(joke example) as the replacement of 'humans' for people after the year 2000

and in thousands of years we will be describing the evolution of
Neanderthals (-xmilion to -200,000BC)-Homo neanderthalensis
humans(-200,000BC to 2000AD)-Homo sapians
millennials (200AD+)-Homo entitledlaziness

we all are changing all the time. just very minimally with each generation.
EG thousands of years ago, there were distinct tribes/races.. but now we are merging into being blended where everyone has a mix in them.

in the future it would be a single 'race' of mixed colour.. i just hope the civility of the future evolved people wont be acting like todays millennial generation..

I am not talking about adaptation and I am not saying humans are not the most perfect, it is true that humans are the superior, but there were existing creatures before the evolution of humans, this make me to be thinking it is possible another creature may evolve later in many years that can be more than millions of years. It is just an assumption.

This would have been easy if the world is led by one person like the world president or world emperor. The country barrier will make this not to be possible. The country is what is causing great distinction in races.

Evolution is true; the evidence for this is utterly overwhelming.


If you are talking about the evolution of greater intelligence, then we are probably a few thousand years past the maximum point of 'natural' average human intelligence. Arguably this happened at some point in the neolithic. But human knowledge builds upon the knowledge obtained in the past, and so our technology continues to advance. Increases in intelligence from now will probably be through technological means, whether that's inserting electronics into our heads, or genetic engineering. But the time of increases in human intelligence through 'natural' means is over, as technological changes are orders of magnitude faster. And we can surmise this would be true of any species that achieved our level of technology.

Human beings are the most dangerous animals on earth, and are their own worst enemy.
The sooner human beings reach extinction, the better for all other forms of life on the planet.

Evolution is real but there is some circumstance where evolution is not valid and to get to the bottom of this we need more than the scientists knowledge (because only the Person that creates the earth and the things that abide in it tell us the fact) because some aspect of their understanding about the earth and human creation can be misleading.
Back to the question, are humans superior forever? Yes, because they are created in God's image and also given the authority to dominate the earth. This is the reason why satan was jealous.

Humans aren't suppose to evolve unless there's a mechanism, perhaps a catotrosphic event, which forces people to compete with limited resources. Then, there's selection for particular traits based on those who survive and reproduce, ie - people physically unable to compete for resources, or not smart enough, would not reproduce, and there genes would not become part of the gene pool. Evolution is true, but evolution is no match for the first world we enjoy living in. I'd say on a macro scale humans are devolving physically.

Imagine if the grocery stores went empty today, would it be possible for modern day humans to adapt to any resemblance of hunter/gather type living? We are too accustomed to our current lifestyle, supplemented by technology. That's the same reason why there would never be an organism to evolve further than humans. Humans would just use technology to destroy anything that becomes a threat (after all, we compete for the same resources).

Yes, this is what I am talking about, evolution of beings that are super intelligent compared to humans of today, may be from human or the evolution of another being entirely different from human but I am talking specifically about evolution of beings different from humans but more intelligent.

Why? Humans are the superior, it is all about the survival of the fittest. What I just know is that some animal supposed to have vanished but humans are making effort they are still existing. Life is wicked generally, a wild animal like lion, leopard, jaguar, crocodile, python and anaconda will not hesitate to kill a human if they have the the opportunity. Life is about survivability and humans are intelligent to survive.

Okay, let us agree that God created the world, their are many organisms that have been existing before the creation of humans, is God planing to create other being more superior to man. Evolution can take millions of years. Let us get back to the same question  ;D

Let us assume so.

Talking about the existence of human, human beings are a unique life form that was created by Allah in a special way. Their are no other creations after humans and humans are the superior being Allah created. Allah as given human the superiority over other creation and it naive to think there will be another creation more superior than we humans.

Human beings is above other creation's biblically, so through your question i agreed that human being is superior forever, other people like pure scientist or scholar's will have scientific evidence to prove, but i know that the super natural being handle over authority to human creatures to control and dominate other creation's, so therefore we don't have to over emphasised and over flog the discussion because the comparison and deliberation of these can raise another argument

This statement seems self-contradictory. I understand that some people reject evolution because they believe in a religious creation... but I don't see how you can sit halfway and say evolution is true, but there is also a creator... it's an either/or question, surely?

If evolution is real (which it is), then the 'tree of life' diagram below is valid. Or is your position that God created a bacterium ~3b years ago, and then sat back and watched everything evolve from that origin? Not trying to be confrontational, just trying to understand how someone can reconcile the two viewpoints.

If I will not be bias I will discuss this in the way I think it can answer your question.

What is evolution? If I will use a layman mening, evolution is the process by which organisms evolve from the primitive to the advanced. Even it can also means the process each organisms have changed in primitive structure and intelligence to an advanced ones.

According to scientists, they have different theorems and they are based on previous proved believes (research) which can be right or wrong but right based on proved believes or accepted research. That is why different scientists comes up with different theorems about evolution.


suzanne5223 can be a Christian or Muslim or any other religions that believe in God, but his level of education and understand knows that organisms did not come to earth just like that, that they were created but through the act of evolution by God. I think that is what he is saying.

I don't know how true about evolution if man was a lower animal and as time goes man transformed to be the way they are now I don't really know about it because I was not in the world then to confirm it. But right now I know human are superior their won't be any change the way man his in years to come.

I don't think this is the case. Evolution doesn't have a direction. It's a result of the combination of mutations (which are random) and selection pressures that favour some mutations over others. There's no inherent tendency towards complexity. If you think about, most of the life on Earth is quite simple. There are complex life-forms, but they're not the majority.

It might also be interesting to consider something like sharks. They became apex predators in their environment hundreds of millions of years ago, and although they are still changing, they just don't have that selection pressure to push them a certain way. They are very good at what they do, and live in a (relatively) unchanging environment. For large animals, they are comparatively simple. And there is nothing pushing them towards greater complexity. In this situation, where something is already close to a best-fit for the conditions, then almost every mutation will be disadvantageous*, and so will be selected out, such that sharks persist much as they already are.



*Simplifying somewhat. Of course they wouldn't all be disadvantageous, many mutations could also be 'neither beneficial nor detrimental' in themselves, but cumulatively, over time, they're still more like to be disadvantageous rather than advantageous.


Hey, this post got merited whilst I was still editing it! Let's hope I haven't ruined it... but too late to take the merit back now anyway :D

According to the scripture, no because He created man in His image and His likeness. This means He created something like a small god to rule and subdue everything on earth.
Meanwhile, if another evolution will happen it will or maybe through human errors just like we see different diseases that come out of the blue.

Viruses don't come out of nowhere. They are subject to mutations and selection pressures along with everything else. They may appear to come from nowhere, as with the Covid variants... but actually this is simply a consequence of viral reproduction being so much quicker than, say, human reproduction. Viral evolution occurs phenomenally quickly.

Human is The best in the universe and the best of all creatures for millions of years. He has five senses and the sense to understand, read & write, speak and express his feeling, happiness, and woes.
Not any other creature has been blessed with such graces. He can do good deeds, help others. He has the quality of noble character and good morality. So God has blessed him this stau that he is superior.No other creature can not take his status and position without God's command.

What I like about religion is that believers believe if anything bad happened, it is because of the sinful ways of men, but if sin persists but everything going good, they will not link it to anything. When Covid started, there will be many believers that said it is the sinful way of men that caused it but which seem as a natural occurrence to scientists.

How about death and pain, may be there will be a time the world will evolve into an era beings will not die and no pian will exists which will be through evolution.

Well, anyone can be wrong, just my assumptions.

But humans are not able to use their sixth sense, the sense in humans are greater and better than those of animals while in animals are not the same but different from animal to animal. But the sixth sense is not well developed.

Well, if we look at how we have come to be after lots and lots of years, it won't be impossible to imagine that one way or another some more adaptive and superior type of species will emerge after another lots and lots of years again. That is, if the solar system doesn't go such drastic changes that makes it entirely impossible for this planet to be habitable for any type of specie or organism. But then again, we won't live to see that day so, . .

Well, we can hope so. My concern for the future is some sort of antibiotic-resist disease that very well could wipe out humanity if pathogenic enough with high transmission. With viral infections, the transmission and virulence relationship can be complicated, because viruses need hosts to replicate, and so keeping the host alive is within the interest of the virus. With bacteria or some sort of fungi, they can self sustain without a host.

I interpreted the poster to be referring to some sort of primitive organism that might out evolve humans, but I suppose an existing pathogenic organism could  enter the gradations of evolution and become a super bug that wipes out humanity.

To me i can say Yes base on the law of nature and religious beliefs that we have Dominion over all created things both living and non living.


Yes creatures like Dinosaurs, aliens, dragons and unicorn are believed to be fictions used by ancient historical regime, though they are imaginary but they were said to have existed even though till now we have no trace of their existence, like aliens which are believed as an imaginary creatures of the star trek.


Like i said no scientific prove that those creatures truly exist but might have be in mythical power of supernatural ancient believes


This now rely on what believe will one go for, is it the scientifical, cultural or Religious. In Christianity the Bible talks about the second coming and the appearance of a dragon and so on but not on this present time, maybe after death or during rapture.

Scientific evolution has not proven yet that a micro organism transform to lizard then to frog and to goat, monkey then to human, each creatures has their species. If you are to use a specie of how a monkey turn to baboon, gorilla and chimpanzee I can't doubt that as evolution law can proves it.

Biological altruism is extremely common in other animals, and is certainly not limited to humans. It is worth considering the question: at what level does selection work? Consider ants, for example. An ant will willingly die to protect its colony. Helping others is not a specifically human trait. And 'good deeds', 'noble character' and 'good morality' are subjective terms that lack meaning. I would recommend reading The Selfish Gene. This piece (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/altruism-biological/) in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy may also be of interest (it includes some simple but quite illustrative game theory examples).




Animal senses are often vastly superior to human senses. A bloodhound as one example has a sense of smell that is hundreds (perhaps thousands) of times better than that of a human. As for sense of sight, an eagle's visual acuity is around an order of magnitude better than that of a human. And what about seeing in the dark? What about hearing, where bats and moths are vastly superior to humans? The list goes on and on.

Again for mental abilities, humans are not always the best. Young chimps, for example, have a working memory that is considerably superior to that of adult humans. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsXP8qeFF6A) may be quite eye-opening.

I never did any research about the causes of the Covid-19 and other viruses but if you read what I said earlier, I said it is always a product of human mistakes but when it happens it will come out of the blue and there's always something that triggers it.


Yes, some religious believers believe that but we also have things that are products of mistakes and things that happen for a purpose.

This depends on personal understanding everything that happens is for a reason.

The last time I checked, most people believe is an invented virus.

This is the believe of every Christian.

How can that be when humans are scared of animals. Man lost that glory of superiority when he lost out to the devil in the garden of Eden by disobeying God. Whatever man does now will not prove him in anyway superior.

I think humans are very smart, also are the immune response to diseases. I only believe pathogens will only reduce human population, but there will be some that will not die of pathogens. What I think can lead to extinction of humans is if what is powering the Earth like the solar system is no longer existing, or if the Earth in any other way become inhabitable.

Covid-19 can be because of research mistake in China, but no one knows, it can also be because of natural changes in Corona virus that makes it more deadly than before. Everything can not be because of human mistakes, some just evolved naturally. One thing about microbes is that they can naturally and genetically modified within short period of time.

At the dawn of human evolution, how did you know that humans are not scared of some animals but having the intelligence that made then superior.

If evolution were to be true, i believe Humans are the final level of evolution in terms of creatures, but in terms of physical features and mental ability, i believe evolution still continues. In a long run, if evolution is to be measured or calculated correctly, there is a possibility i believe that some new characteristics, features/modifications will be discovered of humans that presently are not visible but has been developed as a result of time and environmental adaptation.

I don't believe in human evolutions but it is possible for the AI to take charge once they begin to produce them in multitude in the next decades. As we know AI is capable to run without any electricity in the next years and it could evolve automatically kill most human beings just like the game Horizon Zero Dawn, it may be just a sci-fi game but as long as they won't stop developt in into something much better, robots will take charge in the next centuries and human will live in hiding afraid to be automatically killed.

There's no smoke without fire they say. Most of the disease we saw these days is either invented or caused through research mistakes.
I followed the covid-19 news a lot when it first happened in Wuhan and I read some statements of Dr. Li Wenliang. Aside from that, if the issue evolved naturally there's still something that triggers through human activities.

The one thing that make human unique in evolution is the fact that human can reason unlike every other species on the planet they have no reasoning capacity, human evolution has a dynamic history with various sides and pitches. Human is the most active and perfect creator because human also has the will to revolve around the environment and recreate.

According to experts, humans were superior to other animals due to our exclusive ability to reason.

One movie that tells about evolution is Kevin Costner's WATER WORLD. I have also learned this from the poster somewhere, can't remember who.
It's about the world where the ICE in the north and south melted and the world is filled with water. And then humans evolved but there is one person who had accelerated his evolution where he grew gills behind his ears. And this is because he spends too much time in the ocean.

The Environment has something to do with the evolution of species. If a fish continues to live in a river that constantly dries out every summer, that fish will develop lungs that could breathe air directly or walk on feet, or simply hybernates til waters come back.

Humans will develop too. If we keep researching and developing the human body as we now have a device that will act as lungs. Maybe we really are going to be machines combined with the human body.

Who is to say humans ever were the superior?

So far I only see that humans say it.

Maybe we are inferior to most creatures here on earth 🌏.


And when we add in the whole universe it is likley we are pretty far down the list.

No doubt human is superior creature of God because of its intellectual capacity  but Animals also have all five senses like human , touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing but itis also  believed since centuries that animals also have sixth sens including rats, chickens, and snakes have the ability to detect earthquakes! These animals have to been known to leave earthquake zones up to days before the earthquake arrives, with this behavior also being displayed before tsunami happened in south east Asia.

Personally, I do not think that the evolution that Darwin spoke about in his famous theory is correct, meaning that there is no race that evolved from another race, but all races evolved in parallel at the same time, some creatures became extinct because their nature could not adapt to the violent developments that occurred on the face of the planet New races appeared after the stability of the planet, so I do not think that new species can appear in the future because the planet is in a state of relative stability, it is possible that many species will become extinct, but I doubt that new species will appear, and even if new species appear, I doubt that there will be one superior to man.

Yes, humans will remain superior forever on earth because the theory of evolution is not real. Humans do not come from apes and even if there is evolution, it is human intelligence that evolves.

Superior in what sense? Human beings are like very inferior to let's say, an elephant if strength is considered while if running speed is considered, a cheetah is far superior. We have the superiority in only intellectual levels, we can think and have self-consciousness and self-awareness which apparently every other species lacks more or less. This self-consciousness so far has been only seen in human beings so I think it is very hard to predict actually. But, we also should think about how vast our universe is, surely, millions of light years away from Earth, there might be a planet on which life exists and there are far more intellectual beings than human beings which are superior than human beings on every level!  ;D

It has been there from the days of creation that human being will dominate all other animals.Power has been giving to humans over every other creature,judging from the sense that humans have to be able to make things that can help them be in control of everything.
Man has the ability to make other creatures dread him with the sense that has been deposited in him.
