Are Humans Animals Biology

The statement that you are your ancestors articulates a bio-political fact not a biological fact.

Are humans animals biology. We are not special in this way. In the UK as elsewhere regulatory agencies have tended to regulate humans on the one hand and animals on the other with little consideration for what might lie between. Humans can move on their own and are placed in the animal kingdom.

So my explanation is. Of course humans are animals. Animals are in many respects biologically and psychologically similar to humans perhaps most notably in the shared characteristics of pain fear and suffering.

We look a lot like our fellow primates with our five-digit hands and feet our thoughtful eyes and our lean muscular physiques. Animals do have lacrimal glands which they use for reflex tears. Primates are a group that includes apes humans lemurs lorises monkeys and tarsiers.

The Bible clearly distinguishes between man and beastsomething evolution does not do. Humans are typically omnivores. The Companion and Exotic Animal Biology Concentration is a program for students who aspire to work with animals that are companions or provide esthetic value to humans.

Vertebrate species are animals that do have a backbone such as humans birds fish and reptiles and make up the majority of large land animals. Among animals we are apes specifically African apes. Scientifically put animals are heterotrophic multicellular organisms with eukaryotic cells.

In the case of animals there are various species which are involved. Just as the human brain amygdala activation is activated by the sight of animals Mormann et al 2011 the canine brain caudate activation responds differentially to the odors of familiar and unfamiliar people. What started as distress calls that many animals make became connected with the production of tears.
