the human animal
By MarcoNandoz-01 •
In your view, are Human Beings just animals?
Why people so often speak of loosing humanity, or not being able to call yourself human as a bad thing?
What is so valuable about being human that people are afraid to loose it?
Chimps actually go to war to obtain new territories for their groups. They are also noted to do atrocious behavior when attacking another group.

Though, chimps are considered as the closest primate relatives so my examples may be moot?
Of course we are animals and mimi some animals do wage war, Chimpanezes are a good example. Maybe it is a primate thing to form gangs and attack other members of our own species.
Anyone who thinks we are special and different from the animal kingdom is deluded themselves. Yes we have language and opposable thumbs but we live and die just like everything else of the planet.
On a scientific perspective, yes humans are just another species of animals.
And then there is the side that matters. :P
What separates us (or should I say most of us) are quite a few factors based around one organ. The human brain.
1. The concept of positive and negative which i guess you can classify as a form of moral.
2. The effect and control level of emotions and instinct on our actions.
Some may say our thumb separates us from animals. But I personally think it's just credit to our development as a species and not a part of the definition of the species.
Animals dont have to wage war...but they hunt and kill other animals for survival..I think humans kinda do the same thing for different other reasons. So what separates us from animals? What is Being Human?
humans are human. PERIOD
cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ;)
I don't see animals waging wars, so I'll be an animal any day.
Empathy
Peace be upon you, and how do you do?.
However, if people had faith and be straight and stay away from thinking of money as an AIM instead of a MEAN to use it in some of their life needs.
Nevertheless, when people die the money they have collected will be useless for them in grave.
Take care and may God bless you.
Best wishes

Brit: Hmm I sort of agree
Temperament
Its most difficult to control at all times :)
Humanity signifies Love and Care for other human beings, which is Not visible everywhere.
Abstract thought and the ability to appreciate the finer things in life ..
