Man has come to dominate the planet thanks to two essential traits. One is intelligence. The other has been the absolute willingness to kill anyone and anything that gets in his way.
In Stephen King's book "Cell," the author reflects on humanity's rise to power on Earth, attributing it to two fundamental characteristics. The first of these traits is intelligence, which has enabled humans to innovate and adapt, taking control over various aspects of the planet. Intelligence fuels creativity and problem-solving, allowing humans to become the dominant species.
The second trait mentioned is a ruthless willingness to eliminate any obstacles to their goals. This readiness to resort to violence when necessary has played a significant role in securing humanity's position atop the ecosystem. Together, these traits illustrate a complex and often dark nature of human dominance in the world.
