Are humans animals? We are mammals just like primates and other animals that gives birth to young, milk their young, and have the skin more or less covered with hair. We humans are mostly related to primates, or even closely in that manner to the chimpanzee. Besides the striking physical characteristics between us and the chimpanzee, we are also similar in ways like we both hunt and eat meat, while also eating vegetation, we are both cautions, and curious about our surroundings, by having a male dominate society, and that we more or less fashion tools. So indeed we humans are animals. But with all these similarities how are we different from our brothers in the jungle.
             1. Bipedal. I learned from On Being Human that we humans use the bipedal way of movement. Meaning that we stand on two feet and walk in an upright position. While other primates sometimes may walk upright, its body is suited to walking on all fours, making humans the only ones that are consistently bipedal. This act benefits us by that it frees our hands from carrying our bodies around, making us more efficient by being able to gather and carry food, or to carry and use tools.
             2. S curved spine. I also learned from On Being Human that we humans are the only ones with an S curved spine. The primates have a round arch spine, making the S curved spine uniquely ours from any other primate or animal. This benefits us because it tolerates the stress from standing upright.
             3. Foot arch. I learned from On Being Human that the average human has an arch in their feet. This feature is missing in all primates and other animals, making this uniquely ours. It benefits us by that it balances and supports the body when walking on flat surfaces.
             4. Position legs. I learned from On Being Human that our legs are close together. This is different from primates who legs are more spread apart. This makes this characteristic uniquely human. This is benefit to us because to allow
