Question

Are humans animals?

Answer 1

Early modern humans or anatomically modern humans are terms used to distinguish Homo sapiens that are anatomically consistent with the range of phenotypes seen in contemporary humans from extinct archaic human species.

Complete answer:
Endothermal humans are warm-blooded or endothermic animals that can maintain a more or less constant temperature of the body, regardless of the surrounding temperature.

You probably know that modern humans are part of the species Homo sapiens. Humans can move on their own and be placed in the animal kingdom. Furthermore, humans belong to the animal phylum known as chords, because we have a backbone. The human animal has hair and milk glands, so we're in the mammal class. We also have a well-developed brain, while the brains of the animals are not very well developed.

Humans are animals from a biological standpoint, as we share many anatomical and physiological similarities with them. However, there are enough distinctions between us and other animals.

The following are some key distinctions between humans and animals:

Humans	Animals
Humans are members of the “Homo sapiens” species.	Animals include a wide range of species.
Human beings are omnivores.	The majority of animals are herbivores or carnivores. Bears, for example, are omnivores.
A typical human brain weighs 1.2 kg.	The size of the brain varies between species, with the largest weighing 6.92 kgs (blue whales) and the smallest ever belonging to the ragworm, measuring just under 180 micrometres across (equal to the width of a human hair)
Humans, like animals, are motivated by instincts. We can, however, reason.	Instincts are the primary motivators for animals.
Humans have a "true language" through which they can express themselves.	Animals communicate with one another, but none have the complexity or expressiveness of human language.

Thus, we can see how humans and animals differ from one another.
Humans are anatomically similar to most other animals because we share a common body structure. Because of shared ancestry, the hand of a bat and the hand of a human are considered homologous.

Note: The most recent iteration of the basic primate body plan is our species Homo sapiens. Because of our large, complex brain, we clearly have a much greater capacity for abstract thought and technological advancement than any other primate, even chimpanzees, who are our closest living relatives. However, it is important to recognize that we are not as adept as other living hominids around the world.
