To me, an animal is a being whose actions are defined and determined by its instincts, a driving inner force, being embedded within their very DNA from conception, which determines what they do on an hourly, daily and life-long basis.
Your definition of animal is wrong. To quote wikipedia:
quote:
Animals are a major group of organisms, classified as the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. In general they are multicellular, capable of locomotion and responsive to their environment, and feed by consuming other organisms. Their body plan becomes fixed as they develop, usually early on in their development as embryos, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later on.
WE....ARE...NOT...ANIMALS
Humans:
- are multicellular
- are capable of locomotion
- are responsive to enviroment
- consume other organisms
- have a fixed body plan
Homo sapiens are animals.
