And according to the classification they belong to warm-blooded mammals. But... But according to the characteristics of their activities on Earth, people are closest to... microorganisms. In terms of nature-transforming activity, in terms of influence on the elements of living Nature, microorganisms and people have no equal.
So far, the vast majority of people consider microorganisms to be something primitive, in most cases of little use to people (with the exception of winemaking, dairy processing, wastewater treatment, biogas production, production of the first antibiotics), and in most cases harmful to human health and life.
But facts are stubborn things. We not only evolved from microorganisms, but also live in the environment of microorganisms: they are outside and inside us. We couldn't live without them. Almost all organs of our body, including vision and the nervous system, have a genetic connection with various microorganisms. Moreover, recent scientific discoveries have shown that microorganisms are capable of social life (this is the creation of communities of various microorganisms - biofilms in which gene information is exchanged) and are capable of learning. If we were the highest level of evolution, then we should have the highest degree of self-sufficiency. But this is not the case. We depend not only on microorganisms, but also on other elements of Nature. Moreover, we are becoming more and more dependent on the Technogenic Nature we have created.
We have given ourselves not only the title of the highest level of evolution, but we are also proud of our intelligence and humanism.
But facts are stubborn things. Although from a scientific point of view we - people, regardless of race - belong to one species, but in reality we behave like many species. There is a real struggle going on in human society, a war of species for survival. And this has been happening since ancient times.
If in living Nature the death of a living organism is associated either with chance (including natural disasters) or with its defects (diseases, old age - in the vast majority of cases, it is the least healthy and strong who become victims of predators), then in human society total murder often took place.
For example, various bacteria and microfungi coexist on human skin, which inhibit each other’s development as long as the person is healthy. As soon as disturbances occur within the body or we somehow disturb the balance on the skin (with the help of medications, antiseptics, etc.), then either bacteria (for example, staphylococcus) or fungi gain benefits with the occurrence of corresponding skin diseases. Similar things happen within us. And the Laws of Nature are cruel: a sick organism must be destroyed (disposed of).
We know that microorganisms produce waste products that can potentially be very dangerous for us humans. However, Nature is very wise: substances are simultaneously produced that destroy or neutralize these poisons. And only when conditions and balance are violated, the latter accumulates with all the ensuing consequences. Bacteria that produce the strongest poison botulinum also produce a substance that destroys it. And only if the conditions for the existence of these bacteria are violated, they die with the release of botulin. This process allows for the industrial production of botulinum for cosmetic purposes to combat wrinkles.
Biologically active substances - metabolic products of microorganisms - are used by microorganisms for mutual influence. To a certain extent, we can say that there is a constant preventive “chemical war” between them, in which the “opponents” improve their weapons using chemical components (weapons) of the “enemy.” With a certain degree of certainty, it can be argued that food poisoning of bacterial (microbiological) origin is associated precisely with such a “chemical war”, when native microorganisms actively resist those penetrating from outside. Both of them actively release poisons, which together create a picture of poisoning.
Under normal conditions, the substances that our “native” microorganisms secrete in the gastrointestinal tract provide our immunity.
In conclusion, we will have to cite brutal facts that call into question our rationality and humanism. We are completely calm about the deaths of millions of people (in addition to military conflicts) associated with the development of civilization and the economy: deaths in car accidents (as well as air, railway, sea accidents, and various man-made accidents), deaths from smoking, alcohol, drug addiction, and unnecessary and harmful drugs, from environmental pollution.
