A comment on Why are there so many humans?. Parent comment
Why are people so hung up on definition of human rather than more critical things we don't understand, such as consciousness and intelligence?
Perhaps they're afraid to be put in the non-human box, and non-human is to be removed or exploited? (Also, inhumane. For once properly built word.)
History has shown repeatedly narrow definitions of humanity in action. It ends in a bloodbath of some kind.
