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

There is only one race - the human race.

Pure water is SO much better!!!  Doesn't it seem strange that humans are the only species that are not weaned by adulthood?  Doesn't it seem strange that humans drink the milk of another species?  Could you imagine monkeys breastfeeding on dogs?  Or hamsters breastfeeding on guinea pigs?  \n     Human breast milk is chemically different from cow's milk.  Cow's milk is designed especially for cows.  Cow's milk is designed to raise a newborn calf to a full-sized cow within 2 years.  How could such a thing be good for you?

We are "Homo Sapiens Sapiens"... note that there are 2 Sapiens there, it is not a misprint.\n\nOther species of 'Primates' are not classified as 'Human' because they do not match the structure and development of what we now know as human.\n\nRealise that genetics are not the sole reason for choosing what is human (a banana ia actually 50% same as human in genetics). What defines a human is also the capability for commuicating with other humans, determining right from wrong, and operating in a way that other humans operate.\n\nContrary to popular belief, We are in no way descended from Neanderthals, they are a seperate branch of the evolutionary ladder. We are also not descended from monkeys, they are also a seperate branch. As such our ability to breed with such creatures is impossible... it is like mating a dog and a dolphin (which are very close on the evolutionary ladder).\n\nWe are descended from a now extinct group.\n\nThe question you should be asking is how far back do we go before we are no longer called human?

If you mean by the most-killing animal, it is the mosquito.\nSome might say human beings although human beings are not animals at all but their bad attitudes and negligence make them non-rational as animals and worse.

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?

Yes. Plants and animals have a soul. Why would humans be the only ones with a soul.\n\nGuess vegetarians are also commiting murder! \n"SAVE THE PLANTS"

A human baby. And I'm as liberal as they come. Trees are of course important, whales less so - but they play a vital role. However; humans have rights, animals and plants (largely) do not.

good, i totally agrees with you,are humans a higher form of animal?think again,after the tsunami in Asia,there is not a single animal found among the dead,even the birds are able to know earthquake before man,the only animals that is in the dark is human,so who is the lower or higher form,you be the judge

All human tissue and body parts are made of cells. They are the building blocks of all living creatures.

On the one hand, Humans ARE animals.\n\nOn the other, we are something "more" than animals because we are sentient and we are significantly more developed. Although all animals have SOME ability to communicate (even if only by stench), and many even know how to make tools, they are still incapable of the advanced feats of humanity.\n\nI suppose that it may by some slim chance be possible that animals are sentient, but I doubt it.

humans are mammals, which, yes, are animals.  humans are animals, and as such, fall prey to the same biological urges.  the main drive in life is procreation.  :)  life begets life and all that jazz.

No birds, just humans.

I think human beings are the most scary out of everything, they are destructive to their own environment and destroy everything around them. At least all the others are known as animals, but we are the real animals.

Animals do speak, just not human speech.  Their vocal muscles are developed in a certain way to make their "language" possible.  Can you "talk" like a Bear?  Probably not. (I hope not ;-) \n\nAnimals "talk" to each other using sounds that may sound like noise/grunts to us.\n\nSome animals can be trained to make sounds to seem like human language.  The obvious is birds/parrots.  I have seen cats and dogs "talk" simple things like 'Hello', or even 'I love you'.
