Hume on animals

Hume talks about how we as humans are almost exactly like animals and i tend to agree. We evolved from animals so its not surprising that we still carry many of the same traits. Some that i can think of off the top of my head are things like birth and emotionlike feelings of violence. There are many other traits between animals and us, but i think those are the ones that stand out, i also completely agree with what Hume says when comparing the two. Just too similar to not be of the same thinking.

i agree that there are many similarities between humans and animals especially primates, but at one point i believe he says that animals can reason the same as humans and even mentions a frog, im just not sure that frogs or other animals have the same capability to reason the same way humans do.
