Are animals superior to humans?

Basically what Puddingmouse said.

Plus the fact that its peaches to pears.

Saying "animals are better than humans" is like saying that "the United States is better than Delaware" (Delaware is a tiny subset of the US itself). Humans are one species, and "animals" are millions of different species. And humans are themselves a type of animal. Its a meaningless comparison.

At least half of us is non-human cells, fungi, yeast, etc. so there's plenty of room to consider many retroviruses at work. Or, if you want something more spunky and soulful, maybe we're the psychedelic mushroom's dog and we became more like our master as we evolved. I'm sure Terence McKenna would have liked that one.
