Humans feed their young on milk secreted from mammary glands (breasts). That's what makes us mammals.

We also have hair, placenta and several other mammalian traits (like the mammalian inner ear).

A Mammal is normally defined as a warm blooded animal with a covering of fur, skin or hair which gives birth to live young who are nourished with milk, and who are vertebrate. All mammals suckle their young, but there is a sub-group known as monotremes, which are the egg-laying mammals. This group includes just the platypus and the echidna. They are still Mammals because, like all Mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk. Mammals also breathe through lungs.

Most mammals are also characterised by having a flexible neck with seven cervical vertebrae, and they show enhanced neocortex development. The mammalian heart has 4 chambers and a diaphragm is present between thoracic and abdominal cavities.

Birds do share many of these features, but there are critical differences. To begin with, all birds have an outer covering of feathers, even though those feathers may take on vastly different appearances, such as in the penguin, the emu and the kiwi. Birds have wings - even the flightless ones - and there are differences within their skeletal structure. All birds lay eggs in order to reproduce. No birds feed their young on mothers' milk, but employ a variety of other means for nurturing their young.

Well humans are considered mammals because we have hair, our females give birth to live young and they produce milk for their babies. So a human is a mammal.
