Because of their different World Views.For the Abrahamic faiths Humans are the purpose of God’s creation. He created Humans to acknowledge and worship him and to follow his laws. The world was created for Humans and we must show gratitude for our creation.Humans were created from dust and given souls and only Humans possess souls. Other animals do not, so even though primates are obviously related to us and possess intelligence and many of the social features we do - they nevertheless do not have souls.So this material world view does not comfortably accomodate the theory of evolution from primates. And in most cases undermines the WV.(I can only speak for Hinduism and not for Buddhism or Jainism.The Hindu WV sees the entire cosmos as an interconnected network of energies and Humans are merely one form of existence among millions of possibilities - seen and unseen. So we inhabit a Cosmos populated by millions of spiritual and physical beings - all of which have their place and their necessity in the Cosmic biosphere.Soul (ātma) is identical to sentience (cetana) which is primary and sentience manifests in different bodies in different ways.There is a well established theory of evolution of consciousness in Hindu metaphysics. Our journey begins with incarnating in the lowest of biological forms and evolving through 8,400,000 species till finally we attain a Human birth. The Human birth is precious because it is the launching pad for the final exploration of the limits of the spiritual cosmos and contains the seeds of transcendence and Liberation (moksha). Creation exists not only primarily for Humans but for EVERYTHING - it is a vast painting in which every pixel is important.So whether human bodies are evolved from primates or from ectoplasm is of no consequence and doesn’t hurt or compromise our WV which remains intact with or without evolution of the species.The problem with the Abrahamic soul theory is determining whether previous hominids had souls or not. Even it we grant for arguments sake that each form of hominid was an individual species and one did not evolve into the other, they simply died out and the next species came into existence fully formed or whether some of them lived at the same time - the problem of the soul remains unresolved.For us every sentient being IS a “soul” (ātman) in a different body, the body does not POSSES a soul but is simply an aggregate of chemicals. So the theory of the aggregation of chemicals is irrelevant to our WV.Hominidae - WikipediaFamily of mammals The Hominidae (), whose members are known as great apes [note 1] or hominids ( / ˈ h ɒ m ɪ n ɪ d z / ), are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera : Pongo (the Bornean , Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan ); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla ); Pan (the common chimpanzee and the bonobo ); and Homo , of which only modern humans remain. [1] Several revisions in classifying the great apes have caused the use of the term "hominid" to vary over time. The original meaning of "hominid" referred only to humans ( Homo ) and their closest extinct relatives. However, by the 1990s both humans, apes, and their ancestors were considered to be "hominids". The earlier restrictive meaning has now been largely assumed by the term " hominin " , which comprises all members of the human clade after the split from the chimpanzees ( Pan ). The current, 21st-century meaning of "hominid" includes all the great apes including humans. Usage still varies, however, and some scientists and laypersons still use "hominid" in the original restrictive sense; the scholarly literature generally shows the traditional usage until around the turn of the 21st century. [5] Within the taxon Hominidae, a number of extant and known extinct, that is, fossil, genera are grouped with the humans , chimpanzees, and gorillas in the subfamily Homininae ; others with orangutans in the subfamily Ponginae (see classification graphic below). The most recent common ancestor of all Hominidae lived roughly 14 million years ago, [6] when the ancestors of the orangutans speciated from the ancestral line of the other three genera. [7] Those ancestors of the family Hominidae had already speciated from the family Hylobatidae (the gibbons), perhaps 15 to 20 million years ago. [7] [8] Due to the close genetic relationship between humans and the other great apes, certain animal rights organizations, such as the Great Ape Project , argue that nonhuman great apes are persons and should be given basic human rights . 29 countries have already instituted a research ban to protect great apes from any kind of scientific testing. [9] Evolution [ edit ] In the early Miocene , about 22 million years ago, there were many species of arboreally adapted primitive catarrhines from East Africa; the variety suggests a long history of prior diversification. Fossils at 20 million years ago include fragments attributed to Victoriapithecus , the earliest Old World monkey. Among the genera thought to be in the ape lineage leading up to 13 million years ago are Proconsul , Rangwapithecus , Dendropithecus , Limnopithecus , Nacholapithecus , Equatorius , Nyanzapithecus , Afropithecus , Heliopithecus , and Kenyapithecus , all from East Africa. At sites far distant from East Africa, the presence of other generalized non- cercopithecids , that is, non-monkey primates, of middle Miocene age— Otavipithecus from cave deposits in Namibia, and Pierolapithecus and Dryopithecus fromhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominidae

I lived in WV for 22 years, from ages 3–25. There isn’t a straight answer to this question.POLITICALLYNot really. The whole reason it became a state was because many felt underrepresented in Virginia's legislature, overtaxed, and shortchanged in state spending. They did not want to be involved in the rebellion of the rest of VA in switching to the confederacy. Many farmers in western VA also saw no use in slavery, so they broke from VA and formed WV in the middle of the Civil War. So in these ways you could say it’s not southern. Although southern WV, as mentioned, is where confederate sympathizers tended to be, so you may find the political leanings of southern WV to be less northern.CULTURALLYWell that’s not as simple. WV in a lot of ways is in limbo; northerners don’t consider it northern and southerners don’t consider it southern. If you were to ask them, the majority of West Virginians would consider themselves southern before northern. For me, I identify with aspects of northern, southern and Appalachian (explained below) culture.Where I grew up, near Harpers Ferry, is one of the most northern parts of WV. So there are plenty of people that don’t identify with WV or the south at all because the only reason they moved there is because they commute to DC. So I actually grew up in a very diverse area.You could walk into Walmart and see someone from Uganda, Italy, and Iran. You could find someone who doesn’t even like being outside, and someone who looks like the poster child for the deep south.WV is so different in that, wherever you go in it, you can find a mix of people more typically northern and people more typically southern.However, I would agree with a couple of the other comments, that for the most part, it’s not really northern or southern; it’s Appalachian.APPALACHIAN CULTUREAppalachia is a culture all it’s own. It is a culture born from a special set of circumstances. The coal mining industry was, and in many places still is, the lifeblood of West Virginia. Just 5 states produce 71% of the country’s coal, of which WV is second. Thus, as the industry thrived, so did the people. If it was hurting, so the people hurt too.When your entire state is mountains, it is easy to become isolated from the rest of the world, and 150 years ago, with no internet and most homes not having a phone, being isolated from the world was not a possibility, it was the norm.And so their communities became more like families, (please refrain from any tasteless incest jokes in the comments) drawing together in the acceptance that few people from the outside world would understand them and the struggles they faced. They began developing a way of life specific to them: music, speech, alcohol (research moonshine), traditions and all the other things that make up a culture.THEIR MUSIC is a wonderful example of the particular culture. It has been passed down from generation to generation and is unique to the Appalachian people, due in large part to the fact that almost none of it is recorded; most of it wasn’t even written down, so you can’t find most of it anywhere else.You can find it in the minds of sons and daughters who, as they grew, heard the songs over and over in the voices of their parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles. And every generation before them learned the songs of those that came before in the same way. Mostly, the music is the story of the people. Songs born out of love, loss, poverty, suffering and hope; unique to the deeply complex people that call the Appalachian Mountains home.*Even though Appalachian music is part of WV culture, it isn’t something you will find easily accessible as soon as you enter WV. It’s more oft to be found with the people deep in the mountains*However, the culture of the south has certainly permeated parts of WV, especially the southern parts. There are plenty of confederate flags flown in WV, not for the politics or as a symbol of racism (for the most part. And yes the politics of the south and racism do not always go hand in hand), but as a representation of southern culture and way of life. I would say I grew up with aspects of the southern culture, even though I grew up in a northern part of WV. When I hear songs about growing up in the south and the things they loved about it, I can relate to many aspects. The homemade wine, and sweet tea. Good ol’ fashioned manners, warm hospitality; I can identify with all of that.*Some of what I’ve stated about Appalachia culture also applies to other states like Kentucky and North Carolina*GEOLOGICALLY and ECOLOGICALLYIn terms of geology and ecology, WV shares aspects of some southern states. North Carolina, for example, is a southern state, and there are parts of it that are strikingly similar to WV. So when Scotty McCreery sings about the smell of honeysuckle and pine, the tree frogs singing, laurels blooming in North Carolina; I grew up with all of that and the song resonates; when I am away from WV that song can bring tears to my eyes because I miss the place I lived for so much of my life and that shaped me as a person.GEOGRAPHICALLYGeographically, WV could be considered a mostly southern state since it sits right beside VA and VA is considered a southern state.OVERALLI think West Virginia is just an independent place, with it’s own category and world. It is unique in that it has aspects of the north, the south and a lot of something that is all it’s own. WV is NOT southern nor is it northern, it's mountain. WV is it's own state.It is a vastly misunderstood and woefully under-appreciated state. No matter where I live in this world or where I go, it is the place I will always call “home”.

Huh… I’m not sure what this means. The states whose politics and policies I like the least? The states I’m least likely to want to move? These are not necessarily the same thing.I don’t like the way Texas is being governed, for instance, but I would totally move there. I support the policies I support not because they would benefit me, but because I expect them to benefit others more vulnerable and needy than myself. I could pretty much live anywhere, provided that you give me a few things:A job that will enable me to earn what I want to earn.A neighborhood with:sidewalksa park with a walking/running traila Costcoa Trader Joe’s.A large population of educated liberals. I don’t mind conservatives there, mind you. But educated liberals are the closest thing I have to a tribe in the US, and I need to have enough of them around that my dating pool isn’t too narrow.That’s about it.You can find places like that all over the US. I’ve turned down great job opportunities in places like Morgantown, WV, but I could totally live in the Salt Lake City metro area. Both states are very, very, red. But SLC is much larger than Morgantown, has a much larger population of liberals, and Morgantown doesn’t even have a Trader Joe’s!So, there you have it.Oh, I almost forgot. You asked me what are the worst states without specifying. My least favorite state in the Union is Mississippi, the proud home of Jefferson Davis.Behold: we are so proud of our history of treason on behalf of slavery and white supremacy that the banner of the Confederacy still adorns our state flag! Can I get a rebel yell, y’all?
