Organisms and computers

[abaris]

So why aren't animal brains computers? They function in the same way, largely using the same brain regions for the same purposes.

The question is rigged in humanity's favor right from the start. It once again gives certain groups ample reason for the belief in human exclusivness. Which isn't the case. We function according to millions of years of evolution. The only thing maybe a bit different is our cultural elements. But that's also up for debate, since it depends on the definition of culture.
