are human being advanced animal?

Supposedly, we are the most advanced animal upon this planet but, after reading some postings here on YahooAnswers I am starting to doubt that theory...\n...I am starting to feel that, even the penguins are more sensible than we, the homo sapiens, are...

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.

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

yes. of  course, it is called animalistic human behavioral characteristical syndome.

I don't know that I quite understand you're question, but whether or not humans are mammals, I believe that is correct.  All animals with hair are mammals of some sort so are animals who produce "milk".  So if we aren't mammals exactly what do you think we are?

Although humans have evolved to have the greatest level of intelligence on earth,  intelligence is not only the preserve of Homo sapiens. Many physical and behavioural characteristics of animals occur among a disparate number of species for example, even though the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger was a marsupial it had the physical and behaviour characteristics of a wolf. This is called parallel evolution. The same can be said for intelligence, for example, cephalopod mollusc's such as squid and octopus (the most intelligent invertebrates) and dolphins and whales have both evolved seperately to become highly intelligent within their realm. \nAs for a species being a 'threat' in the race for the most intelligent \nin the future, this is very unlikely as evolututionary processes work on the order of thousands of generations. It is also unlikely that humans will survive long enough for another species to supercede us as mammals as a species generally only live on the order of 1-1.5 million years (we have passed our due date!) say compared to insects that live between 10-15 million years as a species.\nThe biggest threat from an intelligent species is more likely to be extraterrestrial!?

Human life is superior to animals life.  No matter what any tree hugger says.  Maybe its cruel to some Americans but thats cuz most Americans want to save the damn world.  If you believe in Chrisianty then you have to believe that our lives are more superior... other wise... why were there animal sacrifices... why are we on top of the food chain... people wear leather shoes... people eat jello and its made from ground up animal bone... We are superior... or else we would be the ones wearing leashes.

simple animals have this total regeneration ability, even more, if you cut an earth worm to several pieces, each can regenerate to a complete worm.\nthis is very typical of plants.\nmore advanced/complicated animals have a much smaller regenerative ability. something in the genes of the primitive earth worms is lost among the more advanced animals.

Yes, If you look at how far we have advanced technology wise it's unbelievable and the Knowledge we have acquired yet after all this let's be honest the way we treat each other has barely moved a step forward since the day of the caveman.I don't think as species over all any of us have the right to say we are "civilised"

Humans are animals, biologically. \n\n1. We reproduce.\n2. We must eat.\n3. We must drink.\n4. We must breathe.\n5. We think.\n6. We die.\n7. Subject to animal instincts.\n\nWe are mammals.\n\n1. Females of our species lactate.\n2. We have hair/fur.\n3. We are warm-blooded.\n4. We give birth to live young (exception: monotremes)\n5. Four limbs (exception: whales and dolphins)\n\nWe are primates.\n\n1. Opposable thumbs.\n2. Eyes in front of head.\n3. Binocular vision.\n4. Large brains.\n\nWe are hominids.\n\n1. Bipedal movement.\n2. Upright movement.\n3. Color-vision.\n4. Different arrangement of limbs.\n5. Larger brain.\n\nWe are human.\n1. Emotion\n2. Civilization\n3. Conscience\n4. Choose between Right and Wrong\n5. Urge to know about our world\n6. Intelligence\n7. Ability to reason\n\n....and we where clothes LOL\n\n\nDespite all religious claims, Humans are animals (mammals specifically). We are not inherently superior--that is arrogant. And we are still subject to animal emotions, animal subjects, and animal instincts. However, we are more advanced than other animals, emotionally and mentally.

I think if we say humans have souls, we can't say other animals don't.  Seems kind of arrogant, doesn't it?

You are asking two very different questions here, and I will address each seperately.\n\n"Are, Say, Giraffes More Evolved Than, Say, Squid or Amoebas?"\n\nNo. All life currently on Earth has had ancestors evolving for the same length of time, as all life shares a common ancestor. You might argue that the more generations something has been evolving, the more 'evolved' it is, in which case, bacteria like E. Coli are the most evolved. I consider generation length to be a function of evolutionary adaptation, so I would say that between two organisms which are alive at the same time, neither is more evolved than the other.\n\nAs for your second question,\n"Are some organisms more "advanced" than others?"\n\nSure. It all depends on what you mean by "advanced". Eukaryotes are certainly more complex than prokaryotes, for example, so if you defined "advancement" as "number of cells", then blue whales are probably the most advanced organisms. If you define "advancement" by the number of cell types, well, I have no idea what's the most advanced, but it might be "mammals" or something; regardless, it's probably a pretty big group.

no such - the phrase can be found as - advanced mammal like reptile or advanced mammal studies\n\nbut since it is homework then your teacher is probably looking for something like HUMAN as in an advanced ( on an evolutionary scale ) mammal ( teachers can be wrong too )

Every living thing has a soul. Our animals definitely do.

Uh humans are animals!

I suppose all eutherian mammals should be considered higher, (excluding metatherian and protherian). Any other division would be very skewed ,a hypothetical elephant looking for higher mammals would view evoloutionary history in terms of proboscitude ;pthus considering all mammals with larger noses then average as 'higher'

♥♪♦♫ yes it was said that humans are oringinated from the ape family. I hope that I have helped you.♥♪♦♫
