ok here is the honest answer...the theory of survival of the fittest. It is in our genes. It is based on the idea of the drive for the oontinuation of the species. This idea in our society seems out of place and it is but imagine how things were when humans were still primitive and living in the trees. The human female is only capable of getting pregnant a few days each month and then can usually only deliver one offspring. We are not the most prolific of creatures. Therefore the male had to be ready to go at almost any time to attempt reproduction. He had no understanding of the cycle and ovulation. Also probably half the babies concieved didn't survive. The human male had to be a sex machine in order to keep the species from extinction. Probably having sex a lot and with multiple females to achieve that end. That same instinct is still present in modern day males although we attempt to curb it through societal mores and values. But the urge still exists

It doesnt make sense huh? \n\nactually it does.. no human being can survive by itself, at least not well.. humans are social beings and by definition need people around them, and if you are gonna have them around you.. you might as well care about how they are and what they do

Although this is my personal opinion I believe that our inherent psyche is preprogrammed for survival.\nThis tends to afford the motivation for life.\nThis is my theory of natural selection or survival of the fittest.  Jose

"Initially expressed in the writings of English philosopher and author Herbert Spencer, and of William Graham Sumner, Social Darwinism first became popular in the late 19th century and continued in popularity until the end of World War II."\n\nMore can be found at the link below. :)

I think i would.  I would only eat just enough to survive though, i defininately wouldn't gorge.  How?  I guess i would slice a little off and make a fire and cook it.  That would only last me a day or two of food though because soon the bodies would go rotton and get flies.  Then i would have to kill one of the other survivors.  It would definitely be a situation of kill or be killed and eaten.  Survival of the fittest.  Has happened many times before. I for one do not want to be eaten.

If sane people around you confirm that you have good judgment to what's right and what's wrong then why not? I guess if you live according to what you think is right, it will not be much different from living according to the rules set by society.

Well, I guess a person can hope that  the scientific theory of "conservation of energy" is, in a Godly universe, extended to the conservation of what people for ages have believed to be the highest form of human energy:  the soul. \n\nThe concept of survival after death has always been illuminated in human consciousness by  the light of hope,  the faintest and most distant star reflected and magnified  in the tears of the bereaved.  None can say if this vision is the truth of revelation, or the delusion of despair.  But if faith, hope, and love are all that I have, then that is what I shall cling to regardless of "scientific proof". \n\n There have been studies made on survival after death, and there are a lot of stories and books on the subject.  It all depends on what you believe and whom you believe! \n\n Robert G. Ingersoll wrote many years ago, "Life is a narrow vale betwixt the peaks of two eternities.  We strive in vain to reach beyond the heights.  We cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry.  But in the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing."  \n\nBut the Apostle Paul wrote, "We shall not all die, but we shall be changed..." \n\nBelieve whomever or whatever you like.  I prefer to believe the Apostle, scientific proof or not, because my parents and wife are gone,  I am an old and ailing man, and Ingersoll's kind of "hope" is slim to none.

In the respect of survival instincts, yes.\nArtist's renditions show a seemingly larger cranial capacity/cranium so your argument would be true.\nIntelligence like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder or in this case the user.\nI doubt that no modern man could survive in Cro-Magnon Man's Era, meaning he would be less intelligent as to the norms of the time.\nI would like a debate on Technology versus Survival.\nSorry for the Rant Batman, but you pose some interesting questions.

If you believe in evolution, then by your question, it sounds like you need Darwin either way.

I'm a Christian, and I know Evolution is working. I do disagree with Darwin's hypothesis that people should compete for survival within our own species. That is anti-christ. Survival of the fittest is for the natural world. Christians are not natural. Christians are inspired with a spirit, foreign to all other species. That Holy spirit spawns behavior such as; Charity, Passive Civil Disobedience, Art, Music, and anything creative.\n\nHave you heard that we are in this world, but not of it? If you believe that is true, then you are closer to Christ, than Darwin.
