Cambridge dictionary has both definitions, the more common one first

Wikipedia has this to say:
So your argument here is basically "But I have big brain because I use the correct word as defined in biological science as opposed to the morons that use language colloquailly on the internet". Good job.
I mean yeah sure they are in the same category in the sense that both have evolved from the same basis. But humans have evolved further than animals, which is why there is commonly a distinction made between humans and animals without having to say non-human animals.
Examples are:
Obviously none of these relate to humans, because everyone with a brain uses the term animal to mean life that is not human.
It sure feels that way when I talk to you, because you are draining my will to live.
Imagine not knowing that behaviour is a valid spelling of the word everywhere but the place that had to drop the letter U from words to feel special. Time to make a few more rounds in the spelling bee
This sentence alone tells me you don't have an inkling of a proper thought in your smooth marble of a brain. A biologist would punch you for saying that - I'm being nice, here.
Once again, your argumentation is fallacious and based on fallacious reasoning. I won't address this moronic waste of time.
I am again surprised that we apparently are supposed to be talking with rigorous scientific accuracy, here in a thread about terror attacks, between people that are, obviously, not biology scientists.
What I obviously meant was that humans have evolved to have the capacity to do things that no other species can do.
Once again, No U
The fact you think basic, school children-level science is "rigorous scientific accuracy" is once again proof that you're brainless.
Meh okay tbh you were more fun when you had more lines than one on repeat.
I guess take your fish >::<'>
