Answer 8

Humans are Not animals.In many ways we differ.We have outgrown their characters. For example Belief,cooking, dressing,Brain power etc.

Answer 9

Yes, and we are more than animals because we are capable of self-reflection.  The field of consciousness has many different levels, and humans are capable of moving from one level to another.  Presumably, animals are not.

For example, we can describe a person as being shallow or deep.  What this means is that people can access varying depths of the mind.  A deep person is capable of more abstract thought.  Animals are not capable of abstract thought, because their consciousness cannot detach from the world; their consciousness is fixed.

If you're wondering what the various levels of consciousness are, they can be described as the animal, abstract, individual, intersubjective, social, and cosmic consciousnesses, and the Eternal Now.

Answer 10

What a thing "is" is to be found in its genus--if it was properly classified. The only species I've heard of yet that is out of its genus is the Chimpanzee, which science wanted to put in the genus with humans, when chimps were discovered (by white men) in the 1800s. (Of course the African already knew of it, but didn't have the system of classifying, that science had.) The political correctness of the day stopped the chimp from being a Homo, but science is ready now to move chimps from the genus Pan. The chimps cousin, the bonobo, will remain a Pan. It is a long way from being a Homo.

Answer 11

Our DNA is two strands off from that of a cockroach. We're not different enough to make a clear physical distinction accept that we have more acute learning skills (higher intelligence).

What's amazing is that the higher intelligence allows us to make more mistakes than the other animals in the world. Think about it: Domestic dogs make very few mistakes. Of course they're usually fatal mistakes but far fewer within their lifespan. Most human mistakes are made simply because someone somewhere draws a line of legality and a line of morality and a majority of people in charge agree. Anything on the other side of the line is a mistake.

So I think that our intelligence, culminated into a society, complete with line drawers (moralists) sets us apart, but deep down, our thoughts are still of animal-like behaviors.

Answer 12

well duh.

Answer 13

Yeah, we are.  I agree with you.  We're just another species living on Earth.

Answer 14

Absolutely. Don't we have a spinal column, a head, four limbs  and good senses? We have hands with thumbs, which marks us as primates. In fact humans are closer to chimps than African elephants are to Indian elephants.

Animals possess many of the same skills that we do. They have language of a sort, the birds make music, otters are playful, chimps love s*x, and dogs are quite intelligent.

We do have something that animals don't have, and that is writtten language.  In addition humans can live in almost any environment (we are extremely adaptable). We can even live in hostile environments, such as at the bottom of the ocean and out in Space.

Humans are very interesting.

Answer 15

we do have the animal traits inside us like: eat, sleep, mate, fight. but our life aren't like them since we aren't animals. thinking back about it, why human have not been categorized as one of the animals but human are just human themselves? one of the obvious example we could see is that human do dress themselves up, while all animals are totally naked. so we are not just to live, fulfilling our nature meaninglessly unless to also serve it for the right purpose, which is to find the Creator.  

Answer 16

Yeah, we're animals. But I would never say that to my mother, because she's a devout Christian, and she doesn't believe in evolution.
