All throughout known history humans have always been the most dominate and distinguished animal. Humans are and have been constantly learning‚ thinking‚ and deciding based on what they belief is right‚ wrong‚ or neither.

The Damned Human Race Mark Twain stated that he has been studying the traits and dispositions of animals and contrasting them with that of man.

different age and time. If one analyzes the Human race or all animals‚ one can find vulgarity in both creatures. To say which is of a higher or lower status because of barbaric qualities both humans and animals both have‚ cannot be compared properly. Animals do some awful things to each other as well as human beings . Mark Twain just lists human’s bad aspects.

The Damned Human Race: A Critical Essay Mark Twain‚ through a heavy dose of satire‚ irony‚ and a not-so-subtle attempt at the scientific method‚ provides readers with an effective‚ but flawed‚ argument as to why humans are the lowest of animals in his essay The Damned Human Race.

the world that we live in now but actually a huge leap backwards that has led to the oppression of a certain gender and some enslavement of specific races. Another thing I do like about Jared Diamond’s article is that he says it all with one quote‚ “The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Race”. What that quote does is tell you that we as humans can’t blame our mistakes on other creatures or being but we can blame it on ourselves because we had to think and do things without saying‚ “ will this
