Race and those other socially divisive creations, concepts, tropes, ideologies, and behaviors that have enabled human beings to dominate Earth and other species are now obsolete because of weapons, technology, and internationalism. The big brained animal must transform and transcend his or her culture with the Ecological Revolution or become extinct. The production and reproduction of social inferiority is maladaptive in a global village. Status superiority and inferiority threaten the human race. Human beings can no longer deny, defy, and defile their animal kinship in their own endless search for security. If human beings fail to change, they may leave the Earth to other social animals who have evolved better paradigms of social cooperation and ecological fitness.
