    In a lot of ways we haven’t though. I think not putting humans in the animal category ignores the fact that humans can be extremely animalistic at times, especially individually.

      I mean that’s true, but when that does happen, they’re called out on it using “being an animal” in a derogatory form, as in “We’re better than that, you’ve stooped to the level of animals with your actions”
