Question: Humans are…...animals?...

Humans are…...animals?

Explanation

Solution

Humans are the only species on the planet. Bipedality and huge sophisticated brains have permitted the development of advanced tools, culture, and language in Homo sapiens, the most numerous and widespread primate species. From families and kinship networks to political states, humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups.

Complete answer:
Humans are classified as animals because they can move independently. Furthermore, because we have a backbone, humans are classified as chordates. Because humans have hair and milk glands, we are classified as mammals. Humans are classified as primates within the mammal class.

Monkeys, apes, and humans are living members of the primate order, and any member of this order of mammals is referred to as a primate. We shared ape-like ancestors with all of these modern primates at some point in the distant past. We share between 93 and nearly 99 percent of our DNA sequences with them, indicating that we have recently shared ancestors.

We are classified as members of the Hominidae family. A hominid is any member of this family. Chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans are the four living genera of hominids. There are only seven living species among these four genera: two in each, with the exception of humans, which have only one living species, Homo sapiens.

The remaining characteristics of Homo sapiens evolved over roughly 2.8 million years during the evolution of the Homo genus. These characteristics are as follows:

Small front teeth (incisors and canines) with large molars, at least in comparison to other primates.
a reduction in the size of the jaws and face, combined with an increase in the size of the cranium, resulting in a nearly vertical forehead
a massive enlargement of the brain, particularly in the cerebrum, the site of higher intellectual functions
Humans and all other warm-blooded vertebrates (vertebrates have backbones) with hair are classified as mammals. They have a more developed brain than other animals and feed their young with milk.

Humans are mammalian animals.

Note: There are over 5,500 species of living mammals, organised into approximately 125 families and as many as 27–29 orders (familial and ordinal groupings sometimes vary among authorities).
