I'd post a link, but the question has been deleted, but this user basically stated that we are way above no-good, stinky old mammals...

Agent Smith puts it this way in The Matrix Part 1:
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.

Mammals are warm-blooded, vertebrate animals characterized by the presence of sweat glands, including those that produce milk, and by the presence of: hair, three middle ear bones used in hearing, and a neocortex region in the brain. Most mammals also possess specialized teeth and utilize a placenta in the ontogeny. The mammalian brain regulates endothermic and circulatory systems, including a four-chambered heart. Mammals encompass approximately 5,400 species (including humans), distributed in about 1,200 genera, 153 families, and 29 orders,[1] though this varies by classification scheme.
hmm... sounds like humans fall under that category to me
what would we be otherwise??
Bird, Reptile, Amphibian, or Arthropod?
perhaps bacteria, protozoan, fungi, or plants?
viruses, or prions?

We are mammals - we have the one trait that applies to all mammals - we produce milk for our young. Other mammalian traits that we share with most (but not all mammals) are we have Hair (fur) and we give birth to live young.

Does not compute...
We ARE mammals, by every definition of the term. Your question doesn't make sense. There are no circumstances nor examples by which we might be determined to be anything else, so "how" we are "not" is an effectively impossible question.

There is no reason to think that we're not. We're "closely" related to apes and definitely met all the criteria for mammals.

I guess if every mother in the world used formula, we would cease to be mammals?

Oh, like it or not, we're mammals. They'll either understand it and get over it or not.
