I was reluctant to say this but did it ever occur to anyone that the reason men are the only ones who make clothing is because they are the only ones smart enough too. (I do apologize to any animals I may offend saying this).

When flies come to visit spiders in their elaborate homes, spiders will often clothe them in a silk overcoat.

So, by the time we lost our hair, got a big brain and invented the sewing machine it seems natural selection should have wasted our species.

But why? Out of the billions of species why did man only involve with such far superior intellegence?

You says it's so superior. Just because we make clothes and all the neat stuff that we do doesn't mean we are superior.
Edit: I would say are intelligences is less for we are the only animal to kill are own kind for stupid reason.

Did you learn this horse crap in school or think it up all by yourself?

A lot of hominid species did go extinct.
It's possible they starved after being excluded from restaurants for being unable to manage proper attire.

It came to me. What make it Horse crap. Why do feel the need to insult me like this, because you can't come up with anything. What other animal kills it's own kind over religion, NONE. What animal kill there own kind for stupid reasons. If we are so superior with are intelligence then way? You can't answer that, and if you did it would be nothing but horse crap.
