its a common trait for an animal, we have been around for so little time that i dont know wwhat you are talking about, everything is related to ous? lol what, just because we are intelligent doesnt mean all other animals can't have similar traits as ous, one could argue that it is ous who have animal like behavior (while still having much more developed brains and bodies) hench the common traits to other mammals.
we fight territorial wars like animals
we have to a lesser degree basic instincts just like other animals (reproduce, defend and attack etc)
ofc we have moved more away from our ancestors the homo sapiens etc and have moved forward in evolution and became more civilised peoples BUT if you look at the modern world today, you can see we are not really so much different then we where, we have acquired much more technology and such, so we have changed, but we have just shifted it to something else, like we hunted "witches" in the 15-17th century, now we have a gun under the pillow behind a door with 10locks on it, in fear of something bad will happen.
exactly the point, we are aware of ourself and our work, thats why we can sit down have a drink and say goodjob, while a termite build astonishing hives just out of instinct
