It appears as if jcrawford wishes to change the accepted biological classification currently used by science.
Question for debate, "Is there any scientific justification for removing humans from the classification of animals?"
JCrawford will correct me if I am wrong, but it appears as if he would change the accepted classification of life to something like this:
- Animal
- Human
- Non-Human
- Vertebrates
- Fish
- Amphibians
- Reptiles
- Birds
- Mammals (excluding Humans)
- Primates (excluding Humans)
- Rodents
- Carnivores
- ...
- Invertibrates
- Vertebrates
- Plant
- ...
