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.

--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.
