RE: Surviving the Extremes: The Peak of Existence, Part 1
Hi, just a new user and as I'm interested in science I happeend to find your post.
I see you are writing a series of posts with this, but if you are writing other posts regarding extreme forms of life, not maybe living extremely high or deep or similar, but a different kind of approach: humans can also been seen as an extreme, as we lack most typical methods of survival and still we thrive unlike most mammal breeds?
I suppose you're right, though it's not what we typically describe as such, since we, for the most part, do not inhabit the absolute extremes for all nature. Typically an extremophile is more extreme than every other species. Perhaps our existence in the antarctic? But really it all just boils down to having a big brain, which is not as interesting as the millions of physical adaptations we see in nature.
Psychology is certainly interesting though!
Thank you for your reply.
Personally I see it as a very different viewpoint than how most people see extremes and thus could be interesting. Though this is always a matter of personal opinion, it could at least be different in some way, while most likely wouldn't teach anyone anything new.
We are fortunate enough to have all kinds of extremes in our world, so I'm looking forward for your future posts.
Yeah it's certainly dependent on who you are, I just happen to be far more interested in the natural world aside from humanity, compared to humanity cause like... I'm surrounded by humans all the time heh.
New one will come in... 3 days or so!
