In response to Israel Diaz "Can other animals love like humans do?"

I find this very interesting because I had a similar idea.

As Israel stated we are considered animals; one of the many common theories of where humans came from is through the evolution of apes. Anyways no matter how we got here all animals have a heart, a brain, survival instincts, and thus must have thoughts.

But I want to focus on the survival instincts. These would include the instict to get food and drink in order to get rid of hunger and thrist. Another would be finding shelter to stay protected from things like bad weather or generalize it for animals and "humans" any enemys one might have. We also know that we must sleep in order to get rid of tiredness. Without these instincts over time we would probably wither away to nothing.

Bringing in the other sciences and their findings love is also important for survival. Without love usually one becomes lonely and unhappy which woudl eventually lead to depression and depression if it gets bad enough could lead to death. Death could be a result of suicide or the lack of care to what to take care of oneself the proper way.

So to answer the question...YES, other animals can love like humans do.

Question:

If we are considered to be animals and we have similar instincts when it comes to survival why is it called human nature...why not call it the nature of beings or the living or something along those lines??
