For practical purposes, humans aren’t considered animals. When Darwin proposed in 1859 that we had evolved from apes, it’s no wonder the most people initially regarded his theory as absurd and continued to insist that we had been separately created by God. Many people including a quarter of all Americans college graduates, still hold to that belief today. But on the other hand, we obviously are animals, with the usual animal body parts, molecules, and genes. It’s even clear what particular type of animals we are. Externally, we’re so similar to chimpanzees that eighteenth century anatomists who believed in divine creation could already recognize our affinities. Just imagine taking some normal people, stripping all their cloths, taking away all their other possessions, depriving them of the power of speech, and reducing them to grunting, without changing their anatomy at all. Put them in a cage in the zoo next to the chip cages, and let the rest of could be seen for what we all really are: chimps that have little hair and walk upright. A zoologist from Outer Space would immediately classify us as just a third species of chimpanzee, along the pigmy chimp of Zaire and the common chimp of the rest of tropical Africa.
