First of all, learn English. The singular of "species" is "species".
There's no such thing as a "specie".

In other words, you seem to be saying that we should cease to use the
one greatest survival tool that Nature (or God, if you prefer that view)
gave to us: the adaptibility and flexibility brought by our intelligence.

Also don't forget that in a great many cases in nature, the best strategy for
survival is cooperation. Humanity has reached a point, with itself and its
environment, where we need to follow this strategy to insure our
evolutionary continued success.
