## Obviousness and Moving On

Somehow, religious adherents have continued to the present day a view that humans are not actual biological, animal lifeforms. This writing is categorized under preliminaries because it is necessary material to prepare readers in the audience for advancement. Over the years I have reflected periodically on this pathetic need, to prepare readers on informing them that they are animals in the biosphere, and that a study of them is within the field of anthropology and zoology, and various larger or more fundamental sciences, and earth science; and not some alternative, superstitious fictitious interpretative study.

There is a time when the audience must be simply recognized as unable to comprehend. There are members of the potential audience who would not be able to read sentences not written at an eight-grade level, which is why there is a standard of writing for popular audiences, that's intended to create inclusiveness. But it doesn't include everyone, including the handicapped, those who cannot read well, those who cannot understand, or apprehend meanings readily, and so on.

Anyone purporting to push along human knowledge would not want to conform to low expectations such as these; and if they did, the result would be used as argumentation that they are not pushing it along. So some audience members really do need to be left out, if it becomes to remedial. Here I have presented arguments for why people ought to be understood as a basic fact part of the earth-animal ecosystem. Humans are animals. 

It is unfortunate, but for those readers, or hearsayists who cannot assume that humans are actually animal organisms, I really do exclude them as potential candidates of understanding for this material. Later material presumes these preliminaries, and if this point is missed, the later material will certainly be rejected, and there is little reason to continue on reading.

There are many obviousnesses that ought not require repeat communication. One wants to educate, but one also has to move on. Particularly if one wants to become attain a better level of knowledge than what exists, and must divert resources and efforts to tasks related to that objective, and not supporting people who cannot learn.

The purpose of this section of preliminaries is to visit thoughts to topics I've assumed answers concerning over the years. These assumptions must be thoroughly understood to appreciate and understand later advanced writings. I knew, very early in my research and studies, that these topics would be obstacles for readers, especially those who assume superstitions or myths. The article [Abandoning Equality](abandoning-equality.html) includes assumptions that existed from childhood, and more mature thoughts built up until now, but mostly solidified in my early twenties. I decided I wanted to write the article finally, on the first creation of my website in 2016, but I was unable to find a way of expressing the views that seemed sufficiently, palatable or non-provocative, for readers who adopted alternative traditional points of view, who might reject it without undrstanding the degree of thinking that went into the article. I put that lengthy article aside until this year, when I rewrote it entirely, in a way that I think readers would be more likely to appreciate. This article, likewise, is one that is supposed to prepare the reader with hopes that they could receive it openly; but this paper is more obvious to the author, and the author is more reluctant to excessively extend the editing time to baby readers, who will rejet on the most superstitious of views anyhow.

This section on preliminaries is one that was developed on lengthy consideration of what might be acceptable to readers to help prepare them to have access to my more valued thoughts. The effort is for sharing, but that effort can go too far, and for that reason, this paper is assumed obvious, and he author will move on.
