Humans are animals

As you might know, our DNA is closely related to our ape ancestors. We are mammals and therefore animals. Humans used to be feral and primal, acted like animals, then evolved and discovered fire and tools. Still, animal instincts stay and they are manifesting more or less in many individuals. Our instincts are restricted by rules, the society etc and it's hard to fill our essential needs and find a fine balance between your animal side and you. Even just as an ape, not even a therian yet . 


And I think that this is , at some point, what made humans connect with animals in the first place. Interspecie symbiosis is quite rare in the animal kingdom. Wait, I mean at least with so many other species at the same time. Try to find that in the nature you know what i mean.... So humans are seeking that animal connection they lost with themselves or is it just me? What about therianthropy , is it an ancient way to compensate the fact they have to cage their feral ape side ?  Where is the crossline ? The line between all that ?!


Is the cage only in our head then ? ...Are we imposing ourselves heavy restrictions and limits to stay civilised because the way we were raised  ..?

The man instinctively knows he's  a tamed animal that is learning to grow up and deal with his own instincts and urges and pulsions. 

So what separates Humans from animals ???

Is it really society or are we putting limits on our own minds because of the way we were raised and evolved as a civilised race ?

Where do you think is the line between a human and an animal, since humans ARE animals to start with ?

Well Humans are a type of Animals, scientifically. From the order of domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

There is something separating humans from animals, the urge to learn, to gain knowledge beyond their understanding. And its impossible, even if its possible, knowing what will happen in the rest of your life will only make it boring. Knowing every possibility in life, it really makes you a lifeless being. Knowing everything around you...it just isn't acceptable.

The only thing I believe that separates us from animals is the fact that we experience consciousness on a different level, our intuition is an animals instincts, therians can't really be linked to animals to that degree because therians aren't normal animals or ever was, they were simply created with the form of some animals. Animals experience the consciousness of a "lower" scale than we do, we can count, read, write, comprehend complex situations or attempt to. Animals, however, cannot, they can learn simple things as memorizing shapes, colors, and such, but their consciousness isn't at the same level as ours, needless to say maybe in the next evolutionary chain some animals will or will not who knows.

Also, we're also considered genetically close to fruit flies also according to science, atm I feel like science has a long way to go to understand our genetic ancestry.
