I also liked the robot Jenkins, he seemed to me as the only one who came close to living the Juwain Philosophy as intended . As I understood it anyway. ( to have empathy for all creatures ) even so he did two things to alter the course of earth's evolution. One he sent away the ship waiting to take Jerome Webster M.D. to Mars , to save his friend Juwains life. Juwain's complete therory died with Juwain. The humans and every race after only had notes to base the theory on. The mutant Joe stole the notes.

The second was much later when Jenkins found out from another Webster, that ant poison was used to kill ants. Again Jenkins decided not to tell the dogs and the ants inherited earth. The ants like Jenkins had purpose in life. The ants built things and even in adversity ended up building a shrines to the mutant Joe's boot that destroyed the dome that made things easier for them. The proverbial " Kick in the Pants " that kept them going.
