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 + SOUL

Our 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 ANIMALS

FOOD OF SOUL = DESIRES OF GOD

ANIMAL (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)

Which animals are likely to be considered evil?

Humans. Humans are the only animals that can even be considered evil despite the fact that humans already are evil. Our intentions is what makes us evil. We are emotionally complicated and, therefore, easily corrupted emotionally. Unlike humans, other animals' survival depends on their instinct. Our survival is unfortunately based on emotions which causes us to be evil.


What is the difference between pastoralists and cultivators who have domesticated animals?

Pastoralists primarily rely on herding and managing animals for their livelihood, while cultivators who have domesticated animals focus on both raising animals and farming crops to sustain themselves. Pastoralists are more nomadic in nature, following their animals to different grazing areas, while cultivators tend to have more permanent settlements and may rotate their crops and animals.


Did homo erectus have pets?

There is no definitive evidence that Homo erectus kept pets. While they may have interacted with animals for various purposes, such as hunting or protection, there is no direct evidence suggesting they had domesticated animals as pets in the way humans do today.

Can the theory of evolution explain how your brain evolves to become unusually outstanding compared to other animals and why it only occurs in homo sapiens?

Yes it can. Evolution is about adaptation. So if a life form needs intellective to survive, then so be it. We humans started out like apes, but slowly began to get intelligence. How? Well it did not happen overnight, and that is one thing creationists have a hard time understanding, but with an open mind one can see it is possible. We know that thousands of years ago (hundreds of thousands) we were hunter-gathers, people who traveled from place to place looking for shelter and food, like animals, but we suddenly started settling down, made our homes out of the materials around is, and domesticated animals, why did we do this? First we began to recognize patterns in our environment, this was accomplished with help from better memory with our bigger brains, so we saw things like how seasons effect plants, and the food they provide, and how we can use this to our advantage. Any animal can do this, even the Octopus (believe it or not) has amazing reasoning and memory skills, as tests have shown, which it evolved (not as advanced as us by far, but still the beginning of intelligence as we know it). We also saw that the things around us can help us do things, like a stick can be good for defense, and that by seeing patters, we soon learned that sharper sticks were more effective. We saw that rocks are hot when rubbed together, and how that makes sparks that catch wood on fire. We saw that the skins of animals are warm, so we use those in the winter, etc, etc, etc. We also worked in groups, relying on each other for help and guidance. Our parents learn from our grandparents, and we learn from our parents, and we teach our children. Like animals, we stayed in groups for protection, unlike animals, we passed on our skills and knowledge of experience, and that is how we have made our progress. That is how we adapted, so intelligence is part of our evolution. The reason why it happens only in us is because it is SO RARE. But we see different levels if intelligence in other animals around us, it is just rare for intelligence to advance this far.
