I would argue we are still animals with a strongly species centric nature.
Regardless of how complex our domain specific and domain general strategies may be, at a base level everything we do is still driven by the same biological imperatives that drive other species. To not consider ourselves animals is just an anthropocentric delusion.
As a friend of mine once succinctly put it, all we are doing is trying to 'get away from the stink of our own shit'.
