And does it really matter much or even reveal much that they are or is it by itself a fact?

You got claws on your fingers and you'll eat every sample offered at Costco.

You an animal.

Yes, we are. Sometimes, it occurs to me how funny it is that animals are clothed and doing things like riding horses.

The early Planet of the Apes movies would give me an interesting perspective about it since the roles of apes and humans were reversed.

Are humans vertebrates? Are humans mammals? The answer to those questions should lead you to the answer to your question.

Yes. Humans share a lot of DNA with other animals, especially Chimpanzees. All animals are related (just like all life on Earth is related.)

Except for cephalopods....they were brought here by aliens.

Yep!

It's a fact, and no one needs to care about it at all.
Like, "is a tree a physical thing?"
Yup. Moving on.

Some people I know doubted it, just saying.

Well, I'm not a mineral, or a vegetable. I would say I fall under the classification of animal.

[–] TimeTunnel (4769) a year ago

You may try it with the classification mammal. 🤓

[–] sslssg (34321) a year ago

Well yes, that is a subcategory of animal, so I would certainly say I'm a mammal. :)

I once heard Pail Lynde call someone an animal.
