the idea that humans are a garbage species is so obnoxious no one talks about the peaceful parts of history and prehistory because they aren’t as exciting as us killing each other but um homo sapiens have been doing awesome things all over for a long time….we survived the fucking ice age…we made it through the sinai desert….we shared the savana with big cats before we ever made a weapon, we wove baskets from literal plants and halved blades from flint to handles we made, carved harpoons from bone and fought megafauna for our loved ones, cooked food and took care of the elderly and buried our dead, painted pictures and shared stories, built homes from clay and mud and straw, made instruments so we could dance and sing…it is so easy to focus on the negative and i get it ok we are in the middle of a mass extinction event that specific humans are at fault for but listen: they don’t want you to remember it hasn’t always been like this…we were and are so much more than evil

Had to include this tag by @elodieunderglass: “#we were born of risen apes not fallen angels”

[elodieunderglass]

Oh I’m glad you like that, it’s a Robert Ardrey quote from African Genesis (1961) that has resonated with me for a long time:

“But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.”

Terry Pratchett paraphrased it notably in Hogfather, but I like the original quote rather better. We’re a complicated species, but we are known among the stars by our poems.

A few people have tried to “well actually” in my activity, by pointing out that early humans were aggressive animals, and it’s like. well. what an absolutely novel viewpoint. perhaps you could in fact fold that into OP’s points and read it again, looking for their point this time.

someone said “i have a story idea. humans can live forever but that’s a backdrop. three satellites gain sentience. they love football. this will fuck you up for years.”

Whew! This took forever and I definitely want to clean it up at some point and maybe add scenes from Chapter Two but I’m glad I could get it out there. Enjoy! Also this was partially inspired by @hyrude ‘s No Children AMV, so credit there (and check it out if you haven’t).
