What do you consider human?

What do you consider human....Is it something that thinks for it's self has feelings doesn't really go by instinct develops technology and can build things.... is that what we as people today consider human.....what if we made robots that did all this stuff would they be considered human?....

A mammal that evoled so far we surpass our other animal counterparts.
YEAH!!!!

humans are one type of species, the same goes for dogs, and other species... if a robot is to made like a human, it can only be a replica and not called a human...

Going beyond the biological, one definition of a
Human, is one that has a sense of moral, and
can think of, and even die for, things and ideas
that go beyond his biological necessities (like
food and sex).

Humanity is just a manifestation and a fase, but indeed it can think and kill, do you never consider why?

To be human is a quagmire.

I suspect what you are truly asking is "what characteristics define personhood?"

I believe the fundamental characteristics of personhood to be intelligence and self-awareness.

How do we know that animals are not self-aware? And most have high intelligence in respect to their species. My dog is self-evident of both!

The thing about evolution is, a species can never be "better" than another. For example, a bear may seem superior to a blueberry, but in fact neither is "better." Each is adapted perfectly to its environment, and if its environment changes, it will in turn. Humans are a bit of an exception though, since the thing that gives us an edge also allows us to change our environment... 😬

You mention Evolution and to me that has nothering to do with the topic.JM

Well it does... Because humans are a product of evolution, and the topic is about what a human is.

hu·man

A member of the genus Homo and especially of the species H. sapiens.

It may say that but if you belive in creation it would be a different story.JM

Comparing a Bear to a Blueberry? 😆

It is not simply a matter of being self-aware but being aware of your self-awareness.

But our evolution is like a bug-evolution compared to that of other species, look at the gray aliens, they found us but we didn't find them yet...
