Human/Non-Human Animals
Human animals have many different characteristics that distinguish them from non-human animals. Human animals are able to use speech to convey their thoughts and spread their message among all other human animals. Non-human animals are only able to share their feelings and thoughts with animals that are the same as them. Human animals are also able to create and take part in culture. Non-human animals are not able to take part in various cultures because cultures do not exist in the animal kingdom. There are various differences between human and non-human animals but the largest by far is humans ability to use speech to connect with other humans. When you are able to connect with other humans with your ideas and values a society and culture can be built. Since animals are not able to establish this connection they are unable to create any sort of culture or society.
