What is the purpose of getting to know people more than monkeys do

What is the purpose of getting to know people, the part that is more than monkeys getting to know other monkeys? I ask because I am not interested in doing what monkeys do, only the more advanced parts.

Spiritual growth ONLY happens through your interactions with other consciousnesses.
It's only through those interactions where one learned to become a better person.

I can touch others consciousness at a distance. What does that have to do with monkeying around with them?

If your asking what makes us so much more advanced than monkeys, then I think a large part of it has to do with empathy. Then again there is a monkey called the bonobo. Their hierarchy is female dominated. They have sex all the time. Which makes it seem that they are better off than most other monkeys and even us humans in some ways. They don't have wars and fights like we do for instance. The the biggest thing that separates us from them is that we have a bigger frontal lobe which allows for higher mental functions. Like reasoning, logic, planning, a sense of self. Basically the functions of the frontal lobe is much better in humans than that of monkeys.

Not only that have you ever noticed that dogs are much much better at seeing what we want than that of monkeys. There is something inherently different in the brain of a monkey than that of a dog, even though a dogs brain is probably smaller. I always found that interesting. We have breed dogs to be not only domesticated but good friends as well. It makes me wonder if we could do the same for monkeys.

I am not sure I under stand your qustion . This forum is on astral projection , how do you know that monkeys cant have an astral exp. ? To my knowledge monkeys are not told they cant or are not soposed to .  I heard/read some where that the early cave man/woman could go out of body body to see what was at mouth of the cave .  
p.s. You might re post your question on more general purpose forums like s.t. or s.f.

There are a few things I want to become more skilled at or learn more about. Astral projection is 1 of them. Most people arent interested in any of the things I am.
