I like how your copy and paste from wikipedia proves disproves absolutely nothing, and on the contrary, works against you. Scientifically, humans are animals as it infers.
You certainly are one to talk about changing definitions for one's personal benefit.
LMAO you're right. I just looked up the Wiki page for animals, and I love how DaemionMoadrin left out the last line of the 'etymology' paragraph to "prove his point" and then dares to accuse me of changing definitions to fit my narrative. :')
Here's the full paragraph from the wiki page:
"The word "animal" comes from the Latin word animalis, meaning "having breath". In everyday non-scientific usage the word excludes humans – that is, "animal" is often used to refer only to non-human members of the kingdom Animalia; often, only closer relatives of humans such as mammals, or mammals and other vertebrates, are meant. The biological definition of the word refers to all members of the kingdom Animalia, encompassing creatures as diverse as sponges, jellyfish, insects, and humans."
