In ancient Greece, Aristotle used to refer to the human being as a "political animal". Some years later, also in Greece, Galen of Pergamum managed to dissect various types of animals and found that their organs, tissues, veins, arteries, and bones were similar to those of humans. In the eighteenth century, Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley and Ernest Haeckel conclusively demonstrated that humans are not a product of creation but of evolution. According to recent advances in molecular techniques, chimpanzees share 98% of their genome with humans. So, it is clear that we are part of the animal world, but we are exceptional because we cook our food and grill our meat while socialize with members of our species.
