Since language, tools and smarts worked so well for humans why has nothing else benefited from these advantages and bred on?

If evolution is true, then why do women dressed up as cats look so hot, huh? What evolutionary advantage could there be to boinking cats?

I have seen Dolphins SMILE. Does that count?
by Mirage V2.0 AWOL on December 16th, 2006
I'm sure you've seen a lot of things. But what is the biological function of such smiling? (or maybe we should ask "What is the biological function of you perceiving the curvature of the dolphins mouth as a smile?") But these questions produce circular answers within the materialist paradigm. I think the whole point is that biology is not an expression of mere necessity, but an expression of the master artist in a gift beauty to mankind.

Some members of the primate family have been observed to make a wide grin after having dealt with some kind of threat. It helps to relieve tension. That is where humans get our humor gene, through evolution.
