Yes, and for the same reason as the Jews going back to Israel: It would be returning to their ancient home! "Right of return" and all that!

You're right, robomatic. I should have chosen my words more carefully. I think what I should have said, in onder to more accurately convey my meaning is this:

The evolutionary model is commonly understood to suggest that humans are the pinnacle of development and that our place on the evolutionary ladder makes us of intrinsically greater value than the rest of creation, and that is the attitude that predominates in western thought.
