The Deadliest Species

“We” are the deadliest species of all. But you might know that already! Sweeping all those animals to extinction was crucial for our survival and we wouldn’t have survived at all if our ancestors would have done anything different from what they did (30,000 years ago).

The author paints quite a picture in the book, “Sapiens” on how we killed millions of species which inhabited the world before the cognitive revolution took place. It doesn’t look nice nowadays as it was brutal and inhuman. But the world back then wasn’t a nice place too, it was hostile and sparing those species meant risking our survival. They basically it what they had to do in order to survive.

Reddit: Getting Help from Online Community

Lately, I have been getting tremendous help from the online community. No, it’s not Facebook, it’s Reddit. One of my dear friends when introduced me to Reddit I was like they can’t even make their homepage look nice, how good they can be.!

It’s true that Redditors are one of the harshest people in the online community but they are equally helpful too. Think about it, millions of people helping each other genuinely and anonymously.

I have had a lot of help from Stack overflow and I always wondered if that kind of help could ever exist at other places. And now that I have found one I am really happy.

Thank you, Prabhu, for introducing me to Reddit.!
