In a war situation, or a conflict situation.

Human knowledge is not important in survival. Human knowledge is the simplification and symbolization of what it perceives through the senses. How can this help an organism survive an immediate and spontaneously unfolding situation? Human knowledge is inept for real time survival needs but is great for filling libraries.

So you don't walk off a cliff, or eat poisonous berries. Things like that. You can build a fire or a shelter. Without knowlege, think of it - we'd be like an adult sized infant, toddling around the world not even knowing how to open a can or what a can was. We'd die the third day.

its very important for getting a job;the more you know; the more are the chances of you getting a good job and thus getting a good paycheck. whereas knowing less reduces your chances of getting a good job and a good income and consequently gives you a hard time in being able to survive in the world. you have to play the game,read, listen from the ones who truly know and increase your knowledge; be a true player.

it's not just knowledge that's essential, it's creativity, why? because everything is useful, there is no two categories, only that you need to survive, the simple strike a match doesn't cut it, you need to think, take this into consideration, if you are trapped by a bear and there is a hut behind the bear, knowlegde tells you ya' need to get there as soon as possible, creativity tells you how to get there.

knowledge is an aspect not only of the mind, but of every living cell of your body. even for single-celled organisms, the cell knows how to perform a specific task. without that knowledge, the necessary elements of life would be much less likely to be acquired, and death would not be far behind.

It just kind of makes sense doesn't it?
If your referring to humans I guess my thoughts are that knowledge is important for our survival but not necessary...

Why? It isn't. The golden fish has 3 seconds of memory. They can't learn. They can hold no wisdom. And yet, they survive, don't they?

because us humans are not the fastest; or the strongest; or the most feast; so we use our intelligence to hunt out our pray. This has now become our quest for knowledge.
