Okay, so you weren't strictly answering my question then. Let me explain
... Mark defined "animal" as lower life form. I asked what would
constitute an example of a higher life form. You replied "A human". This
makes humans distinct  from lower life form -- i.e. distinct from
animal. I asked what it is about the definition of animal that excludes
humans. You seemed to change your mind at this point and incorporate
humans into the category "animal". This still leaves me with my question
to Mark -- what would constitute an example of a higher life form than
animals?
