What does it mean to classify a human as an animal? Does that mean that humans are in fact animals? Is this saying humans are “non human” animals?

Answer 1

Humans share many traits with our nearest relatives, the great apes. We share large brains, large body size, long lives, and prolonged childhoods because our common ancestor, which was not a chimp or a gorilla or a human, also had those characteristics. This evolutionary process is called homology: Different species share a set of common traits because they were inherited from a common ancestor. The beauty of homology, Fitch said, is that we can use it to rebuild the past by looking at living species.yes we can say that we are animals in the species mamamls .no it is not correct way to tell non human we have development in the upcomping future
