Natural selection acts on all living organisms.  Every time a lion catches one zebra and another gets away, that's natural selection.  Every time a certain plant's seeds grow while another's don't, that's natural selection.  If the girl you like marries someone else, that's natural selection.  \n\nNatural selection is all about biological fitness (having positive traits).  The strong survive and reproduce.  The weak don't.  It's that simple.

*Shrugging my furry shoulders* Humans as a species are not monogumous; unlike wolves and certain birds of prey. IE nature did not evolve them to mate for life. \n\nThat is a religious concept that has become accepted by most...\n\nWhy chase others is a lil more complex, (just tossing out a couple of opinions here as I doubt anyone knows the real answer)\n\n1. Humans main biological programming is continuation of the species through propagation. (My personal belief) Which means spreading their genes to as many as they can.\n\n2. Trophies, it is an ego stroke to be with as many as one can. IE The more women you are with the higher on the male machoism scale you gain.

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?

All species are selfish, humans are no different. \n\nThe real question is why humans are the only specie sthat is occasionally prepared to not act in a selfish manner. That makes us unique.

None at all. The human gives himself too much importance. Essentially, the role of mankind is as unimportant as the role of rocks, mosquitos and, actually, anything in the universe. However, mankind would not survive had it accepted the absolute pointlesness of its existance and so, our elevating of humanity's status above something what it really is seems only natural.

differently from what?

There are things that happen in this world that are above our understanding.  If we were to know how everything worked, we would be God.  Not understanding everything makes us human.

According to the theory of evolution, which is strongly supported scientifically, we are not decended from apes, monkeys or chimpanzees.  We do, however, share a common ancestor with them.  Humans evolved from that common ancestor to become what we are today, and the others evolved to become what they are today.  However, there are other viewpoints on this matter, which, though not scientifically supported, are in wide belief in many cultures.  These ideas are based on religious belief systems. These belief systems contend that humans have NOT evolved, and were created just as we are today by a diety or dieties.  Whether this is true or not, is a source of much debate.

my dear what is super natural to us,\nis pretty natural to others.\nit's each person's senses,that varies,and make it\ndifferent,and may be super,,,to us.\nbut I have seen a lot of these differences.

The 'modern' human experiment could be seen as an answer to your question.  We now, for our 'comfort' do things which are certainly to be considered 'adaptive selection of species'.  The way this results in 'natural selection of a population' can be felt and seen and even quantified, if one is sentient and humble enough.  Glad to help!

definitely humans, no other species is known to cause so many other species go extinct or near extinct and change so large areas to worse. \n\nsome people say that human influence is natural influence because man is part of nature. than we have to face the fact that we are a perfect natural DISASTER, just like a masssive asteroid on collision course

Biologically, it's a genetic question- For an easy definition, it would be that you are born from humans.\n\nWe dont know if aliens even exist, let alone what the characteristics they would have.\n\nBiologically, humans have many systems that are less efficent, more poorly built, or just all-around not as good as other animals.  The list is nearly endless, but our immune system doesnt come close to that of rats and mice, our brains are not as complex in structure as that of a dolphin, our skeletal structure is fairly delicate and not well evolved for walking (thus the backaches and knee problems), we have far more auto-immune diseases than other animals studied..etc etc.\n\nYou could not even use characteristics such as speech, emotions, etc, because there are many humans that, because of brain trauma, neurodegenerative diseases, or birth abnormalities do not have these as well, but who would say they are not human?  Newborn babies cant speak, empathize, build anything, use tools-yet they are certainly human.  Thus, the only strict definition would be that you are born from human parents.

Because humans naturally divide themselves from other humans.

Not sure how your other answerer knows whether animals have souls or not..............I'd like to think that all sentient beings have souls.\n\nHowever, ignoring philosophy, my view is that there is, in fact, very little distinction between a human and an animal. Mostly we all have the capacity to learn, mostly we all possess some semblance of intelligence, and mostly we run our lives according to the rules of some kind of hierarchical society.\n\nThe basic difference I believe is the humans capacity to communicate abstract thoughts via langauage. Although chimps and bonobos have displayed some capacity for this, in humans this is extremely highly developed and allows us to progress and develop very quickly without having to re-learn (ie. we don't re-invent the wheel every generation). It is this capacity that has allowed humans to outstrip other animals in our development towards (allegedly) "higher intelligence".\n\nSee the attached links for some arguments regarding this.

Humans evolved from animals and most of them haven't really come very far.  The rest of us must do what we can to make the world a better place despite their presence.

physically, there is a spectrum of expectation of human behavior, mentally, there are really 6 "types" if you go so far as to limit peoples mentalities that they tend to regiment: Leader, Innovator, Mysic, Psychic, Comedian, Specialist.... but the real truth, the timeless experience of God that is to be passed down is simply this: We are all one. teach this in any way you see fit to aligning yourself with your own best example. Hope that answers things.
