Solomani are missing Uplifted species

Speaking of spiders, if you're a male, and you know that sex is an extreme sport that can literally get you eaten by your female partner, would you participate?

And yet we use our intelligence to not rape every stranger, or gang up and tear strangers apart...

Some of us do. But I wouldn't suggest visiting Sentinel Island or other isolated tribes. It wasn't that long that "She was asking for it" was a justification for rape that would get by a jury. There are a lot of human animals out there.

I just watched the Babylon 5 episode the other day where Sinclair has to warn a guy that the species he is trying to seduce eats their mates. He changes his mind.

Do humans act like uplifted chimpanzees?

Depending on the human, I'd say it ranges from "uplifted chimpanzee" to "downrated baboon".

which is more my point, intelligence trumps animalism.

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.
