What makes us different to animals?

Conscience, the ability to discern right from wrong. Animals do not have this ability. Humans do.Although animals are more aware of certain senses than humans and have many ways to communicate above that of humans (SONAR etc..) they lack full awareness and consciousness... the inability to forsee the consequences of their actions and weigh a decision.Humans are animals with consciousness (which dolphins, elephants, monkeys and apes may have to some degree or other).Humans also have oppositional thumbs, allowing for grasp and dexterity. Furthermore, humans have large cerebral cortical areas in their large brains. Combining all these factors gives humans a distinct (and very noticeable advantage) over all other animals.Human = BODY + SOULOur body brings us closer to animal.Our soul brings us closer to GOD.Body will say do something without questioning right or wrong.Soul will say, do it if it is right and don't do it if it is wrong.FOOD OF BODY = DESIRES OF ANIMALSFOOD OF SOUL = DESIRES OF GODANIMAL (BODY) HUMAN (BODY + SOUL) GOD (SOUL)Regarding the idea ...The animals are more intelligent than humans. (This is the most stupid comment I have seen ever, which animal has created big cities, radio, tv, satelites etc. No wonder, if animal was more intelligent than human, then donkey would be a pilot flying an aeroplane)


What tool do you use to make circles?

A compass is commonly used to draw circles. It is a drawing instrument that consists of two arms joined by a pivot, with one arm ending in a sharp point and the other holding a pencil or pen. By adjusting the distance between the arms, you can create circles of various sizes.


What year did humans start caring about nature?

Many thousands of years ago, the early humans called, "Neanderthals" (nee-AND-er-talls were very careful about protecting the environment. For example, a Neanderthal hunting party would go after their prey, say a buffalo or other large animal, and through clever tactics, kill that animal to provide them with food, heat, coverings and clothes. Next came the Cro-Magnon (crow-MAN-yunn) man. These people would drive a herd of buffalo or other animal over a cliff to kill them, and then use just one or two of the many dead beasts. We don't have any written or verbal history that would hint at what point the Neanderthals started caring about nature.


Why do people point to an object with their chins?

Not all people do. It is a cultural trait. Most European peoples will point indicating with an outstretched arm and finger.However, I was brought up in East Africa and there people point with a movement of their nose and chin in the direction being indicated. Spanning both cultures, I find both methods obvious and effective. The African method also has the advantage of being possible when you have your hands full carrying something.


What caused humans to migrate during the ice age?

During the last glaciation people were not farmers, they hunted and gathered roots, nuts and berries. This meant they had to go where the food went. If animals moved to warmer areas to find their food, people had to follow or they starved. There was no point in staying in an area of arctic tundra in which winter lasted for hundreds or thousands of years if there was nothing to eat.

How are buffalo horns and bison horns different?

AnswerBison horns curve inward and point at each other. Buffalo horns curve outward. Bull bison horns NEVER point towards each other, only the cow (female) ones do. The words buffalo and Bison (which both literaly translate to "Ox like animal") can both refer to the American Plains Bison (Bison bison bison) and the American Woods Bison (Bison bison athabascae- which is larger). Both species have similar horns. Water buffalo horns are much different.


How did the population of bison diminish?

They were shot and killed in vast numbers to the point where there were very few to no animals left. Bison were killed by most Civil War veterans who had nothing better to do than to be shooting at something other than other people. If these veterans weren't punching cows, they were "hunting" and shooting bison for the buffalo-hide market.

How did the disappearance of the buffalo change the lives of the native Americans?

The bison were a main source of food and other items. They used the entire animal. When the bison disappeared they lost a great deal and it forced them to move into reservations to survive, but that was the whole purpose of the vast numbers of bison killed. The Native American way of life was gone at that point.

What is over- culling?

Over-culling is the act of hunters or sportsmen hunting and killing wildlife to the point where their populations are too low to be able to regain normal status within a couple years. The American Bison, for example, were, in a way, "over-culled" to the point of near extinction when they were hunted, shot and killed by white men. Other species include the Dodo bird and the Quagga are also examples of animals that were "over-culled."
