Today, on a Moment of Science, how humans are like rats. One argument against scientific experiments involving animals is that physiological differences between humans and other species is so great that an animalâs response to a certain procedure or medication actually tells us nothing about the likely human response.eâre both warm blooded, and rats eat everything we doâ¦ and live where we live. More importantly, rats and humans often suffer from the same diseases. Thatâs because humans and rats have the same basic physiology, similar organs, and similar body plans.
Humans share many traits with other apes, and those other apes (i.e., non-human apes) don't have unique features that set them apart from humans. Humans have some features that are uniquely our own, but so do gorillas, chimps, and the rest. Hominid evolution should not be read as a march to human-ness (even if it often appears that way from narratives of human evolution). Students should be aware that there is not a dichotomy between humans and apes.
