while 10,000 years might be a good guess for longevity of an average species near this level, I would wager that the human race would score below average in overall harmony, unity, and synergy towards goals to the maximum benefit of the species. It might be the case that because Earth is such a relative oasis, we take global harmony for granted, as opposed to a species that might have evolved on a more hostile planet where harmony and teamwork might have been more imperative to survival up to and past our level.,(reply>), And the nukes!! Holy moly I would hope the average species in the universe with our level of "intelligence" and development has a lower nuke-to-public-library ratio than us.
