Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Phoresis which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 20:49, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

humans
The largest mammalian example of phoresis is human beings directly riding on horses, donkeys or using them to pull carts with humans in them.

Okay, that's adorable and is an example of why I love Wikipedia so much. Im not going to take an opinion on whether that sentence is appropriate or not, but i will say it reminds me of the guy who said that humans are an endangered species because we are "only bred successfully in captivity". Humans are just so unlike all other animals that a lot of natural categories cannot apply to us. — Soap — 21:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I disagree. Jawarner85 (talk) 02:16, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Well... I know of a few biologists that wouldn't agree. I loved finding that at the end of the article, it's such a plot twist. I felt like I was reading an SCP article. Though I did come here to say, what if a person riding a horse was one of the first pictures of the page. ---S — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.188.208.201 (talk) 04:02, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
