which are more advanced scientists? animals or humans?
please look at here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimicry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoopharmacognosy
humans learn science and medicine and remedies from animals.
does animals know more than us?
why animals not get sick?
why they know how to treat their sick but humans can not and have problems such cancer,...
are animals some advanced creatures but do not want to we understand their advancement?
are animals most advanced scientists but are playing role for us?
why we can not solve our problems like animals?
does animals have any problem?
why humans have so much problem? but animals no.
why humans research but animals no? and still they are have no disease.
does evolution have any explain?
who learned them?
they themselves learned during evolution or some one teach them? why they could learn but human could not learn?

Referring to your own comments in different posts about your belief that you made repeatedly may I ask
Do animals (except human) have reach to the Quran to become a better scientist ?
If your answer is" NO" to this very question, then your premise is not valid at all.

They probably have much cleaner, less polluted surrounding as compared to developed countries. And with kind of life style they have, straight we can rule out the depression and coronary diseases. But when we consider diseases like AIDS, Cancer, etc. they probably are equally affected. And with diseases like Malaria and Polio they seems to be more affected considering poor healthcare and lack of education.

Humans on the other hand have evolved much faster and diverse,dealing with multiple tasks not originally meant for them.Nobody wants to play safe instead we want to break free at any cost.
Thats what has brought our ancestors down from trees.

Animals get sick as people do because their environment has bacterias and viruses. Some affect only humans, some affect other animals and some affect both.
Evolution is not something to learn but it is a process that all living creatures are part of (and not aware of).
S.R. Ahmadi 20+
every where bacterias and viruses exist animals get sick?

"A virus is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. Most viruses are too small to be seen directly with a light microscope. Viruses infect all types of organisms, from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea.[1] Since the initial discovery of the tobacco mosaic virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898,[2] about 5,000 viruses have been described in detail,[3] although there are millions of different types.[4] Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most abundant type of biological entity"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus
As you see viruses are the most abundant type of biological entity and they also constantly mutate and immune system of animals has to constantly adjust to new threats. Many animals (people) die in the process.
S.R. Ahmadi 20+
animals have Natural defend system and can treat viruses and bacteria.
Zdenek Smith 100+
"The success of any pathogen is dependent on its ability to elude host immune responses. Therefore, pathogens have evolved several methods that allow them to successfully infect a host, while evading detection or destruction by the immune system"

These are fairly basis scientific knowledge, nothing ground breaking.

animals can treat their sicks themselves.
is there any sick animals have no treat for it? (in Natural life of animals)

Usually the immune system will remove the virus or bacteria. However, sometimes the immune system will not be able to deal with the virus or bacteria because:
- it is a new mutation that the immune system cannot handle; many animals will die thou some will eventually adapt their immune system to the new virus/bacteria
- the animal is weak because it didn't have enough food for many days
- there are other complications e.g. the animal lost blood in a fight with another animal
etc.
In those cases the animal can die from the decease.

But probably with increasing complexity of life that humans have we have many more diseases than other animals; like they don't suffer from depression. :)

Whether it be kingfisher seamless dive into water, or nanoscopic hairs found on the feet of gecko lizards, or termite's ability to maintain virtually constant temperature and humidity, or echolocation in bats, and many others, are mere way in which they adapted to their advantage for better survival in their respective environments.
We humans can see, understand, mimic and apply the same principle and hence learn from them.

Zoopharmacognosy is a very interesting new area of study I didn't know about. It could help us to add to our knowledge of treatments. However this does not mean animals have true understanding of what they are doing. Rather:
"It is important to note that the scientific study of animal self-medication is not based on an assumption that animals possess an innate ‘wisdom’ by which they flawlessly know what is good for them. Self-medication strategies are survival skills honed by natural selection."

In summary there are some things we can learn from nature but are you suggesting scientists don't know as much as animals and animals can treat themselves better than we do?
S.R. Ahmadi 20+
is there any evidence? this is only a hypothesis.
so why humans are not honed by natural selection and can not treat cancer, HIV,...
"people had only a few centuries "
how much is the history of human in earth and how much is history of animals in earth?
"are you suggesting scientists don't know as much as animals and animals can treat themselves better than we do?"
yes I exact mean that.
if today animals have some sick it is because of destroys and interfering nature by human.
if human do not interfere natural life of animals they have no sick and live until their natural end of their life.
Zdenek Smith 100+
is there any evidence? this is only a hypothesis."
This is part of evolution theory. Do you have competing evidence?
"so why humans are not honed by natural selection and can not treat cancer, HIV,..."
Yes there are. Look at tribes in South America, Native Indians and tribes in Africa. They all learned to use some herbals to treat their medical conditions.
"if today animals have some sick it is because of destroys and interfering nature by human."
I showed that viruses and bacterias are natural part of the environment. They evolve over time so animals get sick if their immune system cannot handle knew type of virus or bacteria.
Also, animals get sick and die because their immune system fails if they are took weak e.g. because they don't have food or were injured in fight.
These are well understood processes.

do dogs get cancer while living naturally?

However, I think it is a common missconseption that human developments have lead to worse living conditions for humans. Everything is not perfect and it will never be, But on the average I think things are getting better. I think it is important that we strive towards the best conditions for all though.
Watch this 5 minute clip to get a feeling for what progress there actually has been over the last 200 years.
