Characteristic 1 for plants. Autotrophic. This means that plants make their own food. This makes them a primary food source for many other life forms.
Characteristic 2 for plants. Cell walls. This makes them different from animal life. The cell wall makes a plant rigid and rigidity makes a plant mostly cecile (non-motile). The plant's cell walls also make plants remarkably strong. Which is why we can use some plants as building materials.
Characteristic 1 for animals. Social structure. Animals from amphibians to primate mammals live in social groups that interact based on some form of social hierarchy or pecking order. The strongest or meanest end up lording over the smaller or meaker.
Characteristic 2 for animals. Heterotrophs. This means that animals have to feed on a different life form to survive. This can be anything from the herbivores that feed on plant life to the carnivores that feed on other animals. You won't see a plant stalk and kill another plant then eat it.

The domestication of dogs, cats, horses, and cattle from wild stock is evolution of species on a small scale and shows how through selective breeding can change species over a long period of time. Modern man is relatively new, having walked the earth for only about 200,000 years by fossil records, and even of that time the oldest written word dates (Sumerian) dates from about 3500 BC. Otherwise evolution on the grand scale takes place over the span of millions of years and no written record of it would exist anyway.

No transitional fossils either. And the best of evolutionary scientists are still baffled and confused by the Platypus which blows away Darwin's "theory"

One moves and walk around and lives only once.
One stays still, grows, dies, grows again, dies again.
