If humans suddenly disappeared, which animal would replace humans as the new 'Earth Overlord'?

After countless years of development, human beings have become the only overlord on earth . Although humans are not as powerful as imagined, nor do they have huge size and sharp teeth , but as the saying goes, knowledge is power. Compared with other species, humans have rich knowledge and wisdom. So someone asked, if human beings disappear, who will be the new overlord on the earth?

01

What conditions does the overlord need to have?

If you want to become the overlord on the earth, you need to meet at least one of the following conditions. These three conditions are: relatively high intelligence, relatively strong body, relatively united race, and a certain sense of teamwork.

Wisdom is a huge power, it can make up for the physical insufficiency of organisms, and can develop a new type of civilization. A stronger body can allow the overlord to gain an advantage in the competition with other species, and can face head-to-head with other species. And if a race is particularly good at teamwork, then this race can also make up for the disadvantages of some individuals, thereby defeating species stronger than itself.

If human beings disappear, who will become the overlord of the earth?

Scientists believe that the most likely creature to become the new overlord is the chimpanzee. Among the countless species of creatures bred by nature, chimpanzees can be said to have extremely high intelligence, and their IQ can be ranked second, and the first is human beings . Chimpanzees and humans have many similarities, and some even say that chimpanzees have a certain blood relationship with humans. Scientists believe that if humans disappeared, chimpanzees could become dominant with their abilities.

According to scientists' research, it was only a few million years ago that humans and chimpanzees were distinguished, and the two parted ways. After a long period of evolution, human intelligence has made great progress, while that of chimpanzees has not. Although the intelligence of chimpanzees has not been greatly improved, chimpanzees also have a great advantage over other species, and can be said to be a very smart species.

In addition to being smarter, chimpanzees are also social animals . Its group is generally headed by an adult chimpanzee, with about dozens of members below. If human beings disappear suddenly one day, then maybe chimpanzees can create their own villages or tribes, and then slowly evolve into societies and even countries.

I don't know if you have seen a particularly famous movie, that is "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" . This movie has a lot of brain holes, and it tells what society has become after the IQ of chimpanzees has developed by leaps and bounds. However, the chimpanzee in the movie has mutated, and it is more difficult to make this kind of mutation in the chimpanzee in reality.

In the movie, the IQ of chimpanzees has surpassed that of humans after a period of growth . They began to learn the way of life of human beings, imitating human beings, for example, when humans brush their teeth, they also brush their teeth, and when humans wear clothes , they also wear clothes.

It has to be said that the mutated chimpanzee is quite powerful. Although this is just a movie, it also shows from a perspective that humans recognize the potential of chimpanzees. Obviously, humans subconsciously believe that chimpanzees are stronger and can even stand shoulder to shoulder with humans.
