How are people walking around without knowing this...I used to think (after seen this post) that this would be common knowledge.

I am 12 years old and I know what homo sapiens are. If I did said something like that in school I would be thrown out of class

Homo Erectus answers questions about Homo Sapiens

"Homo sapiens, let them die. Save the humans" ......I have news for you

This has to be staged. I know people are stupid, but it's frightening to thing they're *that* stupid. I guess it explains Trump anyway.

Poor rip-off of Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans". Mercer got a professor at Columbia University to sign a petition to discourage the Canadian government from abandoning our elderly on ice floes, a Harvard Professor thought the Saskatchewan seal hunt was "bad", and a Princeton Political Economy student to congratulate Prime Minister "Horton" on his Double Double. And just like this story, he didn't just get people agreeing with his ridiculous statements (including Mike Huckabee and George W. Bush), but he got them talking at length about their experiences in nonsensical situations. Google it if you want a good laugh, followed by that feeling of terror that comes when you realize just how stupid “educated” people can be.

He once did another similar survey about ending "Women's Suffrage" and so many people were on board with it! Not realizing they were essentially taking the right to vote away from women! To be fair I'm sure most thought they were ending 'suffering' but he was very clear about it and so many people had no clue... sad

Literally i laugh more when Kimmel had to explain his public who are homo sapiens in that half second of awkward silence. That explains a lot about his crowd also.

Posts like these make me sad. Idiocracy has somehow become prophecy and it's frightening.

Good lord. They’re talking about their own species.

There are clearly SOME Homo sapiens who could go extinct without it being a loss to anyone or anything...

"Sapiens" is ironically supposed to mean "wise/sensible". Mmmm.... no....

There's a website where I go have a laugh once in a while: myworldisgettingdumber, featuring "Some Americans are ignorant and proud". It says it all. Caution: overdose can cause severe depression - use sparingly.

Those are America's asses, apparently.

Maybe they had a moment of “oh f**k” because they were put on the spot? Hopefully that’s it. I know when I was in 7th grade I took part in a thesis project my teacher was conducting about how kids react to testing. She would ask me questions and I has so much time to answer them before she moved on. Her first question was “What country do we live in” and I FROZE. I had no clue… After moving on and a few more questions…. when I got into the rhythm I was able to tell her the answer and tell her I felt extremely stupid… but she assured me that was the whole point of the project and that it was actually very common for people to not know the clearly obvious answer to an easy questions when being put on the spot. It’s like their brain takes a break for a bit.

My goodness. I wonder what they think Homo Sapiens are.

In my stupid conutry Serbia, in my hometown, green areas and parks are routinely replaced with concrete and shopping malls, and of course, stupid parking lots. Also trees are cut even in nearby national park, and most of it is gone. We are suffoccating, trash is everywhere, we polluted and desrtoyed everything, but still, there are a lot of really stupid and ignorant homo sapiens who think the worst problem in the city are people who have dogs because "dogs c**p everywhere", also they think concrete and stupid malls are great way to get rid off stray cats and dogs who are completely cute and harmless because they you know, have to poop somewhere, poor things, and eat of garbage. And those homo sapiens think THAT's our biggest issue. And of course, lack of parking spaces. So, I would let all such ignorant homo sapiens go extinct, because they deseve it. Long live cats and dogs! I prefer anything they leave behind compared to human garbage, toxins and plastic.

I think, the Lady who saw a Homo sapiens at the Zoo once might just know what was going on. Beside all the animals, lots of homo sapiens are at the zoo and they are acting CRAZY :)

The quote by James H. Andrews made me LOL! Sometimes it does seem that way. We are not as smart as we think we are, while other species are a lot smarter than we think they are.

I've known this my entire life . Americans are dumb. At least now they are dumber than ever.

lol. this is hilaious that people dont know what homo sapiens are. then again, im not surprised with the d**k head president.

Wonder how many people they had to interview to get that many idiots. Hopefully a lot.
