Yes there are worse creatures than ordinerily humans but they they holding the the top positions in the world. Doesnot matter in which country and where.Sending my regards to animals and plants. Fascinatedbythisgreatpost on September 08, 2011: I really agree with you. Humans are real oddities. We can be so evil. Just ask the dodo!
Crocodiles are known for their bad temper and attacking humans even if they are unprovoked. This is the reason they fall under the category of cruelest animals. The saltwater and Nile crocodile are considered to be the most dangerous among all.
A lot of the cruelty we do to one another, the real savage, rotten terrible things we do to one another, are in fact because we recognize the humanity of the other person. We see other people as blameworthy, as morally responsible, as themselves cruel, as not giving us what we deserve, as taking more than they deserve.
Well, one would have thought that the way humans evolved, we would have turned out to be superior to other creatures - with our intelligence and creativity and supposed morality and sense of right and wrong. Superior, one can argue, we are in many respects, but are we better than the animals we share this Earth with?
Humans have carried out their fair share of violence in recorded history, but a new study shows that killing rates among humans has dropped compared to those among our fellow murderous mammals, making man far from Friedrich Nietzsche's characterization as “the cruelest animal.”
Human Muscles Evolved Into Weakness, In Order to Boost Our Brains. Much like our brains, human muscles have evolved several times more rapidly than primate muscles, according to a new study — but that process has made us weaker over time in a process, while brains become more advanced.
We have much bigger brains relative to body size and in absolute size than other mammals, and have a level of intelligence that other animals don't. There are many advantages to intelligence, such as the ability to plan and cooperate, innovate new techniques and share information about what works.
War is a standard way to bring out human cruelty, but cruelty extends far beyond war. Examples of abhorrent savagery in 'normal' society are easy to find: the teenage girl raped and doused in caustic soda, the disabled man murdered by his 'friends', horrific cases of long-running child abuse.
There has long been a general assumption that human beings are essentially selfish. We're apparently ruthless, with strong impulses to compete against each other for resources and to accumulate power and possessions. If we are kind to one another, it's usually because we have ulterior motives.
Humans are growing weaker, more disease prone, and just might be developing some manners, according to a new study that asserts humans are still evolving according to Charles Darwin's natural selection theory.
AfricaHumans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
Strictly speaking, humans are the smartest animals on Earth—at least according to human standards.
Humans are unusual animals by any stretch of the imagination. Our special anatomy and abilities, such as big brains and opposable thumbs, have enabled us to change our world dramatically and even launch off the planet.
Human nature is evil; its good derives from conscious activity. Now it is human nature to be born with a fondness for profit. Indulging this leads to contention and strife, and the sense of modesty and yielding with which one was born disappears.
Whether humans are born good or evil has been debated by philosophers for centuries. Aristotle argued that morality is learned, and that we're born as “amoral creatures” while Sigmund Freud considered new-borns a moral blank slate.
For most of us, hurting others causes us to feel their pain. And we don't like this feeling. This suggests two reasons people may harm the harmless – either they don't feel the others' pain or they enjoy feeling the others' pain. Another reason people harm the harmless is because they nonetheless see a threat.
Speaking of lions, ye, even if there were no humans at all, life itself is violent. Because all life must either kill other life to survive, or at least require that other life has died. For example plant life. All plant life requires composite organic matter created by death.
Also, the reason most people say Europeans is because in that juncture of time when Europe had a lot of violence, they were at the fore of public attention. The Arabs still carried on with their violence. Now that the world is peaceful, everybody notices that Arabs are the last race standing that continues to embrace violence. Note, this has nothing to do with Islam. You don't see 180 million Muslims in
It is not difficult to get along with people. Yet, this particular race among the human family does not want to. It would rather make enemies. If they cannot rule you, they will ruin you. If they cannot get what they want, they would rather blow it up so no one gets it.
Three-quarters of the land-based environment and about 66 percent of the marine environment have been “severely altered” by human actions. More than a third of the world’s land surface and nearly 75 percent of freshwater resources are now devoted to crop or livestock production.
Land degradation has reduced the productivity of 23 percent of the global land surface, up to US$577 billion in annual global crops are at risk from pollinator loss and 100-300 million people are at increased risk of floods and hurricanes because of loss of coastal habitats and protection.
The summary lists a number of categories that the report addresses. The extinction statistics are especially sobering: 1 Up to 1 million species are threatened with extinction, many within decades 2 500,000 of the world’s estimated 5.9 million terrestrial species have insufficient habitat for long term survival without habitat restoration 3 40 percent of amphibian species are threatened with extinction 4 Almost 33 percent of reef forming corals, sharks and shark relatives, and 33 percent of marine mammals threatened with extinction 5 25 percent of species are threatened with extinction across terrestrial, freshwater and marine vertebrate, invertebrate and plant groups that have been studied in sufficient detail 6 At least 680 vertebrate species have been driven to extinction by human actions since the 16th century 7 10 percent of insect species estimated to be threatened with extinction 8 20 decline in average abundance of native species in most major terrestrial biomes, mostly since 1900 9 560 domesticated breeds of mammals that will be extinct by 2016, with at least 1,000 more threatened

You can’t humiliate animals — only people. So dehumanization is real and terrible, but it’s not the whole picture.
Crocodile . Crocodiles are known for their bad temper and attacking humans even if they are unprovoked. This is the reason they fall under the category of cruelest animals. The saltwater and Nile crocodile are considered to be the most dangerous among all.
No doubt dogs are called man’s best friend. They are loyal, friendly, and most affectionate pets. But there are some dogs that are hard to tame. They are too strong and fierce. Therefore they come in the list of cruelest animals. Pitbull remains aggressive no matter how they are trained. This is because of the violence in their DNA. There have been reports of pit bulls attacking other animals and in some cases even their own masters and few of them are fatal. Children tend to be the main victims. Even pit bull crosses are equally cruel.
They are infamous for their cruel and dominating character. They have also been man-eaters. Lions are lazy in nature, however, they are strong and must not be taken lightly. They attack in packs, so they leave no stone unturned. Also Read: Top 10 Endangered Animals In The World.
7. Great White Shark. The largest predatory fish on Earth, Great White Sharks are feared for multiple reasons and all of them are equally justified. Out of more than 100 shark attacks worldwide, one third to one half is done by the Great white shark.
It’s not made-up. Black Mamba is considered to be the deadliest snake in the world. They are fast, venomous and when triggered they are highly poisonous. Black Mamba is born with 2-3 drops of venom per fang, and by the time its an adult, each fang accumulates 12-20 drops of venom.
However, when you’re talking about torture, there are some cruelties that stand out beyond all others. 1. Scaphism AKA the Boats AKA the Tub. The Persians were big fans of a gruesome torture method that began by binding the person in place. Depending upon the method, either the head, hands and feet, or just the head was sticking out ...
Torture has been around as long as human beings have and some of the devices used have become legendary. The rack, the iron maiden, thumb screws – none of them are very pleasant.
The Judas Cradle. This torture device from the Spanish Inquisition is theoretically the least fatal device on the list. Imagine a high stool with a triangle on top of it that the victim’s anus was stretched over. If the torturer didn’t like the answer, then the victim would be pulled down deeper onto the triangle.
If the torturer didn’t like the answer, then the victim would be pulled down deeper onto the triangle. That could be via a sudden drop or done by a slower process with weights. Sometimes, the slow impaling of the victim would continue overnight.
During impalement, a blunt pole was shoved into the anus. It was not too deep at first and the victim could support himself on his toes. Of course, that still left the victim standing with any slip driving the pole painfully into the body.
