Are Humans Different From Other Animals in Kind or Only by Degree?
Deciding whether humans differ from other species in kind or only by degree is a complex question that involves multiple disciplines. There is no one definitive answer that can settle this question, and different perspectives may lead to different conclusions. Science is well suited to answering questions that can be studied using these methods such as the physical and chemical properties of matter. But there are some questions that science may not be able to answer, such as… What is the meaning and purpose of life? How should we live our lives and make moral decisions? What happens after we die? Questions like these are often addressed by other disciplines such as philosophy, theology, and the humanities.
