Homo sapiens are animals because:\n1) We are multicellular and comprised of eukaryotic cells.  \nThis differentiates us from monerans and many protists.\n2) We are heterotrophs, which differentiates us from plants.\n3) Our cells lack cell walls, unlike the cells of fungi and plants.\nYou can read about other distingushing characteristics here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal

Yes. See the links below. I highly encourage everyone who doubts evolution to spend a little time browsing the "tree of life  web" site www.tolweb.org. Look both at the tree diagrams, showing how life has evolved into different species, but also look at the titles of the papers that are referenced on each page. For example, from the Primates page, there are papers with these titles:\n\n"Toward a phylogenetic classification of primates based on DNA evidence complemented by fossil evidence. "\n"A molecular view of primate phylogeny and important systematic and evolutionary questions. "\n"Molecular timing of primate divergences as estimated by two nonprimate calibration points."\n"The oldest known anthropoid postcranial fossils and the early evolution of higher primates."\n"Molecular evidence on primate phylogeny from DNA sequences. "\n\nThere is a huge body of scientific literature that doesn't just say "we think we evolved from apes". It explains in great detail the evolution of all life, and shows where humans fit in the families of hominids, primates, and mammals. There is a great deal of evidence, not just from fossil evidence, but from DNA evidence. The DNA evidence is now far more powerful than the fossil evidence.

Vertebrae. Cervical vertebrae, to be precise. All mammals have seven, including humans.

You may be interested in this site: it lists the many fossil homonids.\n\nSome of the more famous fossil homonids include the Taung child, Turkana boy, Chellean man, Heidelberg man, and of course Lucy.  The site provided gives information on these and many other fossil homonids.  It also has interesting rebuttals to creationist arguments that these fossils are false, made-up, non-human, not as old as they seem they are, etc.  Definitely worth the read if you're interested in this topic...\n\nhttp://www.snowcrest.net/goehring/a2/primates/fossils.htm#args_piltdown\n\nIt is also good to remember that not all homonid fossils are "human ancestors", the Homo genus "family tree" has many branches.  There's a good article on Wikipedia explaining this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution\n\nHope this is helpful :-)

There are two issues here. \nFirst, these terms refer to different logical classes. \nThe classification system that we use is based on inclusive (nested) categories and in that sense, the logical class "ape" includes the logical class "gorilla".\nBut there's another aspect to this.\nThe term gorilla refers to the animals belonging to one species, Gorilla gorilla (with different subspecies). In this case, the common word has a taxonomic equivalent.\n\nOn the contrary, "ape" does not have an exact equivalent in terms of systematic groupings or clades. In a general sense, "apes" are understood as Old World monkeys that lack a tail. They would include the families Pongidae (orangutan), Hominidae (chimpanzee, gorilla, man) and Hylobatidae (gibbons). However, for other people, the gibbons are "lesser apes" and the Pongidae are "higher apes". Many would also exclude man from the apes. Thus, for the authors of "Planet of the Apes", only the "higher apes" were included in the definition! \nIn consequence, there is no taxonomical equivalent for the common term "ape". A similar thing happens with "monkeys", that is, other Primates that have a long tail, are generally medium-sized and arboreal (including macaques, baboons, guenons, capuchins, marmosets, etc). This is another term that does not correspond to the systematic arrangement but rather includes several taxons.

That is not a good question. A cladogram expresses the ancestor-descendant relationships by means of _branches_, not by means of an ascending or ordered system. Thus, a goldfish would not come "before" a horse, nor a lamprey before a platypus. All the animals in your list do not even belong to a single nested group of taxa.\nThe sparrow is more related to the crocodile, the horse with the human and they in turn with the platypus, but all them, as well as lampreys, frogs, goldfish,  have their own evolutionary histories and their phylogenetic relationships are more complex than that.\nTell that to your teacher!

You are WAY OFF there on your description of the animal phylums.  Their are MANY phylums of invertabrates.  And vertebrates are a SUB-phylum of the phulum Chordata.\n\nAs for your plant question, the short answer is NONE.  The plant kingdom is divided into Divisions (not phylums). The VASCULAR plants are (usually) grouped into 16 divisions (11 extant, 5 extinct).  I wont even try at orders and classes - that information changes too often.

you can go on the internet and plug in the search bar "Kingdom Protista" or "phylums of protista.

Humans are animals, biologically. \n\n1. We reproduce.\n2. We must eat.\n3. We must drink.\n4. We must breathe.\n5. We think.\n6. We die.\n7. Subject to animal instincts.\n\nWe are mammals.\n\n1. Females of our species lactate.\n2. We have hair/fur.\n3. We are warm-blooded.\n4. We give birth to live young (exception: monotremes)\n5. Four limbs (exception: whales and dolphins)\n\nWe are primates.\n\n1. Opposable thumbs.\n2. Eyes in front of head.\n3. Binocular vision.\n4. Large brains.\n\nWe are hominids.\n\n1. Bipedal movement.\n2. Upright movement.\n3. Color-vision.\n4. Different arrangement of limbs.\n5. Larger brain.\n\nWe are human.\n1. Emotion\n2. Civilization\n3. Conscience\n4. Choose between Right and Wrong\n5. Urge to know about our world\n6. Intelligence\n7. Ability to reason\n\n....and we where clothes LOL\n\n\nDespite all religious claims, Humans are animals (mammals specifically). We are not inherently superior--that is arrogant. And we are still subject to animal emotions, animal subjects, and animal instincts. However, we are more advanced than other animals, emotionally and mentally.

Think think think! The taxon with the smallest number of different species would be a species, which contains 1.  The largest taxon would be a kingdom, such as the plant or animal kingdom, which could contain millions of species.

Based on fossil, genetic, and molecular evidence, we have a long train of ancestors in our history.  Modern humans and other primates, such as monkeys, have a common ancestor that lived about 25 million years ago, and our ancestor would probably *not* be considered a "monkey."  Before that were early mammals, and before that mammal-like reptiles, the sauropsids. Before that were early reptiles, and amphibians.  And yes, before that, about 440 million years ago, one of our ancestors was a fish.  So you are correct.

It probably occured after Carolus Linneaus developed the current naming system for every species on the planet. All of the names originate from ancient Greek and Roman. Homo is Greek for man, and sapiens means "knowing."\n\nThis is all part of what's called Binomial Nomenclature, that naming system that includes homo sapiens and all the other scientific names.\n\nFun Fact: the scientific name for the Western Lowland Gorilla is Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla. No lie.\n\nEDIT: It was Carolus Linneaus, not Darwin. Darwin developed the theory of evolution, not binomial nomenclature.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_nomenclature

Chordata are the animals which bear NOTOCHORD during their embryonic stage which works as a brain for them.

Here are two links. The first dscribes it's taxonomical charicteristics, the second link has pictures.\n\nGood Luck.
