Are humans different from all other higher-order mammals in the animal kingdom? Do humans warrant a separate and unique category? Are humans themselves different by way of breeds? Should we classify each breed or now that the world is closer together are humans so inter-mingled that they are all becoming one?

Well considering these questions and the need for further scrutiny of the subject experimentation should be completed and so my questions would be;

1.) Are most all humans animals?

2.) Does a very small subset of humans have something extra making them different? (enough different to warrant a separate classification?)

I am not concerned personally why some humans may refuse to believe that we are not all created equal, as I believe this would be due to education teachings. Nor am I concerned (personally) why some humans refuse to consider that they are just animals, as this is an issue of religious indoctrination and/or ego without observational data. I see you are concerned with your data being messed up due to the preconceived notions of participants in an experiment.

Now then my question that I would most like answered is in number two, what is the difference, is it an extra gene, a difference in DNA, blood type, what, brain formation, is it a genetic defect, or a positive enhancement? I sense difference and that is my observation without ego. I would like to have my answer. But to do so, we can only use the top 1% and test them. But my question in the testing is what are we testing for? I do not know, but suspect the answer or a couple of possibilities.

Should humans dare to seek these answers? Should humans further probe for the truth? Will we like what we discover or will it shock us in our own ego-centric belief systems? Are you willing to seek the answers? Consider all this in 2006.

Tony Soprano is a mafia don in New Jersey who is in talk therapy with Dr. Jennifer Melfi. He has panic attacks, loses consciousness, and has slipped into a depression. All of this seems irrational to him, but he can’t help it. He has some hidden agenda lying just outside his awareness that is controlling his feelings and behavior. He doesn’t believe in therapy at the start, convinced he cannot talk about himself and that it won’t help anyway. He resists, evading Dr. Melfi’s questions, withdrawing, and even walking out.
