What Do You Think , Animal or Human ... ?

[Theboatyfozi]

I'd like to ask one thing, Do you think of yourself as Human or an Animal?
Many people think just because We're smarter (as they say) and stronger than many animals in forces and alliances that we are Human not Animal, but yet It wouldn't make sense since we have close attributes towards the Monkey Species as known Evolution and Using tools and what not. Although this is fairly short I'm just asking one thing really basically.. Do you think of yourself as an equal to animals or are you superior? I consider myself an equal towards anything that can think intelligently, yet that would also lead into the question are Humans really as smart as say a pack of wolves, who know when to mate who work in groups who can detect even the utmost smallest movement of fear and realize what each other are saying by body language or even how they smell.

First, I know that you're banned, but I have to say that I'm not sure why you centered/bolded all of your text, and capitalized random words.

Second, you're using your own, special, poorly-defined definition of intelligence. Let's start with the basics, where we spell out exactly what our definitions are. Personally, I prefer the Oxford's English Definition:

The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

Obviously by that definition, it's wildly, WILDLY obvious that humans are the most intelligent species.

What's your definition?

Would you rather have brains or brawn? I’ll tell you 9/10 you’ll choose brains. Having intelligence is generally the most benefiting over having natural gifted strength. Outsmarting your prey is very key in the animal kingdom. We’re all animals, human is just a term used to identify our species.

I believe if you have more desires than just basic ones like wanting to have food, sex, dominance then thats when you can consider yourself a human and not animal.

We are both animals and humans. Why do I say that? Well, let's look at how we are animals when there's plenty of food on the table and we are ravaging it like animals. What about the time when we get ticked off by someone and we want to kill them? Hah! We have predatory instincts and although we have a more sophisticated mind than a typical animal, we are still animals when our mind no longer control our actions but our ranging emotions and hormones instead.

 

We belong to the domain of eukaryotic cells. We're animal species.

We happen to be the most environmentally dominant and cognitively complex ... animal species ... on earth.
