There was a great book about a hidden ancient city in Honduras called The Lost City of the Monkey God (same city?). As ancient cities go, it was pretty huge. When people stopped living there, the jungle quickly reclaimed it. They mapped it with LIDAR then sent in robust expeditions. The city...

Other hominids didn't have anatomically distinct chins. Then sapiens did.

We do, but there's not much of it. The younger dryas was an extremely destructive event. The Richat Structure in Mauritania was scoured down to the bedrock. The best I can think of off the cuff is Dwarka, Gobekli Tepe, and the Sphinx. Very true. And much of the remaining evidence is reused...

Talking about that is a one way low passage to ban land, and most people are not emotionally ready or able to resist their conditioning enough to have that discussion. It's also a lot of difficult reading and hours of video watching of subject matter that conflicts with narratives most people...

Well that would suck. "Your mother is too busy to keep developing you, please hold."

Monkeys engage in prostitution. Chimps who achieve troupe dominance by fighting dirty are treated with contempt by other chimps (they have to individually intimidate other chimps into the usual gestures of subordination every single time, instead of everyone getting with the program the way they...

maybe some kind of encrypted device with the money on it that is acceptable to regional banks and all parties. maybe a combination of money and goods. sending that much money by xboat in an extremely low trust situation with dangerous people might not be the best idea. the pirates might say...

I agree.

Which show or media is this illustration from?

I disagree. Vigorous effective law enforcement does that, not intelligence. Where law enforcement is lacking or ineffective, rape, ganging up, and tearing people apart is exactly what happens. And intelligence is far too frequently used to rationalize and justify animalism rather than control it.

Sometimes.

But seriously your post made me think that I should clarify what I meant, since the aliens as people in rubber suits idea wasn't stated directly anywhere in the discussion, people might not gather what I was alluding to.

By furries I mean uplifted animals being nothing more than people in fur suits, as in the trope of aliens being nothing more than people in rubber suits. I mentioned degenerate furries once in a prior post regarding the book The Architect of Sleep, and in that context I meant degenerate...

And they are frequently cruel and vengeful. In one case an elephant in a zoo would drop its food near the edge of its pond, wait for the ducks to come close and then stomp them flat. The elephant did that because it was bored...

Doesn't it have to do with the surface area and internal volume and body temperature? They wouldn't be able to cool themselves, or support their own weight. Large prehistoric hominids had a similar problem when the climate changed during prehistoric times. Their internal volume was too great...
