us humans are also part of this class mammalia and we surely did dominate not only in one niche but probably even in those which we are supposedly not part of.
Humanity is not "dominate" anything, but rather destroy. Many people think that humans are better than every other living being, and they place themselves above everything, but with the destruction and wasting what humanity is doing both to the planet and to themselves is actually put themselves in the lowest level. Many people should learn much from the animals. Living in peace in the nature. Many people like to think that we are evolved, but actually we are not. Seeing that humanity in general is distanced itself from nature, and even destroying it, it is rather a devolution than an evolution.
early humans must have had lived in similar ways to these monkeys. they hunted food when hungry, they were free to roam the land, and they had time to relax and enjoy and socialize as well. they had simple lives with simple joys and simple goals. when monkeys kept this same lifestyle, we humans got so advanced and got materialistic in the process. i suppose we humans can adopt a little bit of this simplicity back.
Living in communities in the nature, and working together, helping each other is really a simple and peaceful way to live.
I live in such a community in the rocky semi-desert on Tenerife for months now. I slept both in caves and in tents too. Mostly in a tent. I live in the same Quechua tent for four months now (since 2023.12.02).
If you are interested in our community, then I wrote a detailed blog post about four months ago: Our environment-friendly "no rent, no bills" freedom lifestyle in the rocky-semi desert on South Tenerife (2023.12.18).
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
