I have always believed that humans = animals.

There? See what your mind just did? It rejected this statement because the origin of our civilization has always classified ourselves higher than any other living entity as the smartest species.

I don't see why humans are not like animals - we are just smarter than all other animals and that we are able to research and develop and construct more complex than them. They do that too, but on a much, much smaller scale.

Humans/animals are the same. Like I said before, we have a higher level of thinking - that's it. From this point on, we have built and designed the world around us while animals do the same.

Do remember that everything we have constructed or built today came from natural resources. Every single standing structure. Plastic or metal or wood. Animals do the same albeit in a more primitive way. I don't believe humans evolved from "animals" since well, I don't believe in evolution, that's a different story.

I will bring in the fact that there have been humans who have run off into the jungle, been 'adapted' to live with animals, you know, the weird stories of jungle man/woman. The animals seem to be able to 'accept' these humans as their own kind. Even pets we have today seem to be able to 'accept' us when we nurture them from young. Acceptibility does not mean we are the same, it just goes to prove that we can all get along together and there is no real reason to say animals / humans are not equals. Does a chimpanzee have the same intelligence as a fish? Well, they both have their set of intelligence to survive. It's that simple. We are just at the top of the intelligence group.

^ Too bad can't read crap since ignored. Seem you did reply to my other posts too. I only respect those who respect me and that's it. You might have posted something constructive and I would appreciate it, but heck, you seem like a regular around here. Just don't get too attached at phd, you might spin your head too much over garbage.
