Why humans love babys of other humans also but that is not the case in animals?

because they are humans

Probably not, as in the animal kingdom they do not have the kind of rules, values and morals that we have.\n\nHowever, there are probably adult animals that 'mate' with younger animals on a daily basis.

Humans are born a bit more prematurely than other apes.  The reason for this is our extra-large crania and the conflict with the size of mothers' birth canals.  That said, apes are still quite helpless at birth, but are capable of holding on to fur and helping stay attached to mom (though not nearly as much as many monkeys).  Human newborns are 100% reliant on adults to carry them about.\n\nThe simple answer is not quite, but close.  As mentioned before, non-human apes will also develop much more rapidly.

It's clear that humans and animals (especially those close to us in the evolutionary tree), share similar chemical responses in their brain when faced with highly emotional situations.  Whether it be fear, contentment, mating urges, we have a lot of analogous mechanisms going on.  On this basis alone, there is a pretty strong argument that animals have feelings.\nOne possible counter-argument, however, is based on the definition that for certain chemical responses to be called feelings, that the being in question needs to have a conscious awareness of their state.  With this defition, it becomes much harder to say whether animals experience feelings in the same conscious manner even though the neurochemical signatures are similar.\nMy opinion is that this definition based on conscious understanding is a little specious, as it's based on an ongoing desire by some to try to define humans out of the context of the natural world... and to claim that we are categorically better than the other animals.  \nIf the neurochemical basis for consciousness is ever discovered we'll be able to quickly check which animals have this, and I suspect we'll find that many are conscious.  If this is so, then their feelings will be as real as human ones in all senses.

its in our animal instict to fall for the opposite sex\nits how we were meant to be and how we reproduce \n\nlook at animals in the wild\nwe're no different then they are

well it could, but its still humane life, the most precious thing in the universe that is being wasted every day in those abortion clinics, and those same people that support abortion would say that harming a Puppy is a bad thing, and yet killing a precious little child just because it cannot cry is to them no problem, the damn "cute little puppy" is more precious to them then a helpless little child, there are thousands of childless couples out there looking for a child to give their love to, how much more hypocritical then that can one get? its mind-boggling to me.

Some people love the comfort they recieve from pets, for some people are lonely and or feeling misunderstood. Pets\nsimply carress without much needed conversation. Sometimes\nwe all need to be caressed and pets supply this need. I do\nnot have a perfered pet. I care for many pets and I love\nmy job...SO every day I see and understand the need for pets in peoples lives and I am happy that people who have so much love to offer take in one fuzzy furry freind to love and care for.

Not all animals have multiple partners.many have the same one year after year.to reproduce. However most of the animals just mate to reproduce and that's all. they just don't go having sex with every species of their kind just have sex,like us wonderful humans tend to do.for animals it's not about how many chicks they can get "laid" by.It's only to keep their species in existence..

This is a stupid question! To reproduce and for fun! Humans and dolphins are the only mammals that have sex for fun.

Because, some people say it is unnatural to like the same sex and other say its just fine, as long as they love each other.\nIn my own opinion, it isnt natural.

depends on who you are talking about. You have never held your children before they are born, but when they get here, there is so much love in your heart. I think that it is possible to love a person you have never held. The heart is a wonderfull thing. When you do hold that person, you better watch out, you might explode. LOL

There used to be more than one species of humans but they died out. Technically there are animals that are our species like chimps, but are not humans. Some researches even believe we should be part of the same genus as well. All dogs are one species just different breeds like we have different races.  There are probably so many species of frogs because they can all cohabitate on the earth without interfering with each other and killing each other off.

Because animals don't have to accomplish as many tasks, so they can specialize on a few specific tasks and learn to perfect them. Humans take on a greater number of tasks, most of which are highly complex, so they can't specialize as easily.

Very little is unique to humans.  Most of what we consider "unique" is only something we do more of than other animals.\n\nFor instance, we're the smartest animals, but hardly the only smart ones.  Our brains are large, but the brains of many whales are larger.  Opposable thumbs are found in the other great apes at least.  Speech of a sort may be found in other animals, we can't really rule it out.\n\nSome of the answers received thus far are wrong.\n\nChimpanzees feel shame and blush.\n\nIt's not clear that other animals don't have philosophy or religion (how exactly would you tell?)\n\nOther animals seem self aware, or at least recognize that what they see in the mirror is "them".\n\nEmpathy is recorded from primates.\n\nChimpanzees have morals in as much as there are behaviors frowned upon socially amongst them.\n\nAnd as for bipedal, all birds, kangaroo, and kangaroo mice are bipedal.\n\nI sometimes suspect the only unique thing about humans is the arrogance to think we're unique.  :-)

This is often thought of as heplful in the mating process. It gives a "target" of sorts. Kind of the same idea as baboon butts.

While humans are animals there are few things that make us different from the other animals.  Much in the same way cats are different than dogs.\n\nPhysical (not all of these are unique to humans but the combination of all them is)  \nBrain size: brains take up a larger mass relative to size \nour thumbs\nwalk upright on two feet \nno fur (yes we have a little but not much)\nchildhood is much longer\n\nHumans are able to use abstract thoughts more proficiently than our animal cousins (math, art, language)\nWe can refine tools.  Other animals use tools, (chimps elephants) but they don't refine them.\nHumans can pass on information over many generations\n\nThis is not exclusive list, but I believe I have hit some of the most important points

I don't understand that either because I sure don't.  Animals may be less evolved than we are but they still have emotions and feelings and can show them.  To me, I would rather be around animals and appreciate them more than I do most humans!  They are more simplistic than we are and don't have the same egos we do but they are equal in every way and deserve respect, compassion and love just as we do.  They are a living breathing spirit just like we are and need to be treated as such.
