    Yes, we are. Find the short list of characteristics that define animals and you will see humans match all of them. We are NOT the only species on Earth that does not belong to one of the six kingdoms. We belong in the kingdom Animalia. We are animals.

    Yes.

    Living thing?  Check

    Eukaryotic?  Check

    Multicellular (or descended from a multicellular ancestor)?  Check

    No cell wall?  Check

    Ingestive heterotroph (or descended from an ingestive heterotroph ancestor)?  Check

    That's a crude checklist for being an animal.

    Let's do a check-list:

    --Are we plants?  X

    --Are we fungi?    X

    --Are we protozoans?  X

    --Are we bacteria? X

    No to all the above, so let's just call ourselves animals.

    We are more than animals since we have a soul breathed into us by God.

    Of course we are.  People who say we aren't are out to lunch.
