life of another of our own species in a whole new level. That’s what makes us humans unique. We are known for our notoriety. That can never be parallel and comparable to any other species aside from ours. After knowing of Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, I’ve since then believed that humans are not much different from animals.
