Just a quick side note on what IMO genesis meant by this, is that the human being is created in Gods image. The homo sapien is merely an animal vessel for the human being.
It is said that humanity on this planet is half human, half animal and it is true. Only the animal like attributes of humanity commit negativity and have no morals, just like the animal does in the wild. Only the human part of the human being reflects God in compassion, love, and understanding, the attributes that the animal does not have. Such attributes are attributes of God.
