Best Answer

Humans are mammals

Answer 2

Mammals are warm-blooded, have fur or hair, feed their young with milk from mammary glands (breasts) and give birth to live young.

Reptiles are cold blooded, have no fur or hair, do not feed their young with milk, and lay eggs.

I'm sure you can work it out from that.
