Why We Dominate

Now that I said in my last blog how the last chapters didn't have close reading, I am beginning to wander that what the Tralfamadore are the ones that I’m most looking forward, even though they may be brief. This last chapter has a conversation between the Tralfamadore and Billy about humans that was very interesting. They were having a brief conversation of how “Earthlings are the great explainers…”(pg 85). Human Beings need to have an explanation for everything if not, they don’t feel comfortable where they are. This need for us to have an explanation for everything is what I think, has brought human beings to be the dominant species. This need for an explanation for everything is something we are born with it’s one of our killer instinct (that everyone is too proud to admit). If when we are simply toddlers we are already asking questions, like why?
