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?

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... erm

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

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...
