This seems to be a fundamentally overlooked question. What's your take on it?

Yes Humans are animals. Humans are in group of Hominidae as the great apes are (Gibbons, Orangutans, Chimpanzees, and Gorillas). If you consider apes animals then humans are too.

We certainly are (unless you agree with Agent Smith in the Matrix, who said we're a virus). That's something the anti-environmentalists don't seem to understand. No matter how much we remove ourselves from nature, we're still a part of it. Anything that leads to the extinction of other species could eventually lead to ours too.

It is not overlooked, it is accepted by scientist and doctors. Blood, bone, muscle, and brain tissue in man is nearly identical to that in other animals.

All humans are animals. We are "Forced" to become human beings. If you do not believe in my words, tell me why we require law and order? Imagine a world without law and order and you will get your answer.

Yes. Taxonomically, humans are in the same kingdom, Animalia, as are all other "animals."

I believe so. Especially those who kill and rape. How can you not see an animal in someone like that?
