Are we the kind of humans as Sophocles, that have the capacity to control natural forces, the time passes and we even control them more with all the technology; that have the abilities and supplements for hunting and taming other living things, that have a language and have thoughts so we can communicated with everyone and express all kinds of feelings, that finds it way out trough illnesses always doing the best they can to have a cure for everything, also the ability to protect us with any change of the weather and finally the most important one the ability to choose between right or wrong. With our fate and thoughts we can see or wonder what its good and what isn't. Or you can think maybe as Pico thought were he compared us humans with animals saying we're are more happy animals, he said that is not what we have but what we want to do, we humans have the knowledge that animals don't have to create something or to thinks bigger as we do.
Maybe your will go with Sophocles idea because that what you see all days happen in our world and you don't want to be compare with an animal who isn't as you are. But we can me just as an animal but changing and reproducing all the time, maybe we grow faster that they do and get more knowledge but it can happen that someday they will be just like us.

Andrea I liked your post, I accept it and is of course really satisfying believing that we are "better" than animals, that we are different in so many ways, and that we are the top of the top in the world, though I think it is a little selfish and innocent, we are always looking to gain more than what we have, show what we do well etc... we even make it unconsciously so that makes me doubt if we really think like this with any second intention.
