Humans are classified as mammals. Mammals are a class of vertebrates that have certain characteristics, including:
- Warm-bloodedness (endothermy)
- Hair or fur
- Milk-producing glands (mammary glands) for feeding their young
- A highly developed brain
- A four-chambered heart
The main difference between humans and other animals is that humans belong to the hominid family, which includes other species such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. Humans are unique among mammals in several ways, including:
- Opposable thumbs
- Bipedalism (walking on two legs)
- Large brains
- Advanced language and communication skills
- Use of tools and technology
So, the main difference between humans and other animals is our distinct evolutionary path, which has led to the development of these unique traits and abilities.
