We think of ourselves as the dominant species on Earth, but if the corn and rice plants suddenly went extinct tomorrow, half of us would die off in a couple weeks. Maybe those are the dominant life forms, amirite?

But we say we're dominant because we can now control other life forms such as corn and rice plants. Interesting idea, though. It's important to realize that everything on the earth is in a symbiotic relationship with everything else.
