:It's not indisputable at all. Whether or not humans are animals really depends on the definitions of your classification system. Personally, I'd define plants as living things with a body, animals as living things with a body and mind, and humans as living things with a body, mind, and soul. Ergo, humans are not animals ''according to that classification system''. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:40, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

::They have sequenced human and chimp DNA and estimate that there is about a 2% difference between the two. If chimps are animals, then human DNA codes 98% animal. [[User:Teresita|Teresita]] 10:43, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

:::That is only relevant if you are using that as part of your classification system. They've also found that humans have about 50% of their DNA in common with bananas, so does that make us 50% plants? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 11:28, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

As per '''grand''' consensus on this discussion page and the discussion page of [[Theory of Evolution]], I am removing the fourth definition. [[User:GofG | GofG]] [[Special:Contributions/GofG|<sub>|</sub><sup>|</sup><sub>|</sub>]] [[User talk:GofG | Talk]] 09:51, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
