Just a hypothetical idea I've been mulling over.
Imagine a creature with a large brain similar to humans, organized for high intelligence, reasoning, and complex language. Essentially, they act human in every way with one exception. They did not evolve the anatomical things apes did. That is, they don't stand upright or have thumbs, etc.
I wonder if there has ever been an animal with nearly human complexities in thought and what not that has died out because they could not create tools, pass on culture, create an economic system, etc? Not that there's really any archeological evidence for it, but I wonder what life would have been like for them? Would they believe in God? Become Vegetarians? Have laws?
