What does it mean to be human?

To be human means to have the abilty to create and interpreat. Humans are animals but we are set apart from the rest because we can create and build. Our minds are set so we can think much further than just food, water, shelter. We have the abilty for compassion and kindness, but at the same time we can be ruthless and destructful. Humans have a deaper emontally conection. our children stay connected with their parents and their parents don't, for the most part, abannion their children and forget about them. Humans can understan what is happining arond them.

  1. To be human means to be able to love, have feelings towards things, develop a dominating community, understand and invent technology. A human experiences emotional bonds on a more complex and deeper level than other organisms in the world. Humans understand and invent technology by artistic expression through art, buildings, music and literature. When was the last time you heard of a dog having the ability to write a book? You haven't because they dont have the mindset nor ability to be able to accomplish something like that. Over thousands and thousands of decades the humans have built there minds up to being able to accomplish things like literature and music. Other organisms haven't done so. Also, humans have the ability to interpret our basic instincts into complex emotions and have an understanding of our world and existence.
