Being human

The idea that we are human is a big one. We breathe air, we eat food, and we live. What sets us apart from other animals? Is it that we live in houses or that we can build many amazing things? What makes us human?

The first thing that sets us apart is the way we communicate. It’s not just between, person to person but we can communicate with other animals. We use are voices to tell each other what we want or how we feel; also tell a dog to sit. This is something unique about a human are ability to learn.

Other thing that we share with mammals but we have taken to the next level is affection. We present each other with gifts not just to a person we may have a crush on but to a family member for a holiday or their birthday. Animals don’t do that; they may present a shiny rock to a potential mate but not a family member.  

Do animals have feeling? We say they. A dog can be guilty, a cat aloof, a hoarse playful but is that a human thing? Humans are the only ones who characterize feelings, but they hardly call them happy or sad.

As human beings we are special in the way we look at the world, the only thing close is Are evolutionary tree family member the apes. Who also show the closes thing to human emotion? I do believe that we are up high on feeling and emotions but is that a good thing?
