The Earth is dominated by humans (homo sapien sapiens), who live among various amounts of other species that inhabit the planet. Dinosaurs were obvious alphas long ago when they dominated Earth thanks to their large size and ferocious physical traits. Soon after the extinction of dinosaurs, the earliest species of humans began to dominate the Earth, utilizing their intellectual capacity and use of tools. The superiority complex humans have formed as a result of perceived domination of the Earth has led to the belief that we can use other species specifically ones whom have DNA genetically similar to humans in testing and experimentation. This superiority complex humans have formed, has lead to the belief that we can use other species, specifically …show more content…

Though these tests may verify that the subjects intelligence is in fact improved, there is still differences in our DNA makeup to chimpanzees. Which is why some “human related effects” are sometimes not observed during the products animal testing phase. Will argues that there are “risks” but the risk is that of humans and not animals, again showing man’s underlying belief of dominance to the other species of Earth.
