Humans have written that humans are at the top of the line for living systems. Humans feel they are on the top position because humans have a large brain that can think. Humans run from danger. Humans are regenerating systems that restore injured and infected parts back in old spatial positions. Humans, at best, live about a hundred years.
Most trees are still very young at the age of one hundred.
Trees are forgiving organisms. Trees are more than big sticks of dead wood. Trees do not heal, they compartmentalize infections. This process makes it possible for trees to outlive humans, even when constantly mutilated. So, humans are supposed to be so great because of their big brain that can think, learn, make decisions, and predict events yet to happen.
