Why Do Humans Think They Are So Superior?

We often hear humans say what a great species they are, but are they? Why do Humans think they are so superior? Others say well humans are just animals really; perhaps we should call this a simple observation, which is in direct contrast to humankinds outrageous ego-centric claims to be something so special and above the rest that they are somehow divine. I believe such embellished notions are nothing more than a fog, preventing mankind from the reality here on EArth.

Many researchers have pondered this thought too and the subject recently came up in an online think tank where a researcher of such stated:

It would seem as though you are evaluating a problem which is the result of a pArticular detail in our own classification process as superior. Although my focus is on the aspect of the human/animal group debate, the outlook and behavior humans exhibit towards other living things is as an issue that manifests itself as much on the individual level as on a circumstantial one.

Indeed a great point and perhaps this sheds some light on the subject and brings up another good point in the discussion. Does mankinds attitude and superiority complex affect his relationship with all surrounding life forms? If you stop to think about it this is a very good question isnt it? The fellow thinker and think tank researcher further states:

Ego-centricity is the product of a willful negatory behavior and not so much a systematic consequence of categorization or rank in the chain of living things which surround us. I guess we could say that being superior or unique to all other living things does not constitute th e power of abuse on those said things.

Indeed it does not necessarily constitute that, but it often does and probably more than most humans care to admit. What do you think about this? Do you feel that your personal and individual behavior is the way it is pArtly due to your ego-centric attitude and superiority complex of being a human at the top of the animal food chain? Consider this in 2006.
