What’s with the animal bigotry? I really don’t get it. So were related to apes. Get over it.

I think for a lot of people it boils down to a desire to feel that they are somehow cosmically more significant than what they are capable of observing.

Whether it is a belief in astrology, mysticism, or any given religion, there is a desire for a mythos that places them above ordinary nature, and sometimes even above their fellow humans.
