Secular Humanism and Humanity: What are they?

[Ignorant]

What I meant was its not anything more than just the nature of humans. It's not magical or spiritual or anything, we're just another animal. As I said, I really don't understand the question.

Value is entirely subjective, to most humans another human life is more valuable than an animal's, but that's to be expected; each animal tends to value it's own species. There is no external value to anything.

That is fine. Do you think (i.e. according to your subjective view) that there is something about human life that makes it more valuable than any other animal?

Thanks for that! So, would it be fair to say that the distinctly "human" characteristics are derived from and involve those realities leading to the development, function, and biological behavior of the human brain?

Sure, I would agree with that. I think that allows us to see the fluidity in behavior between animals and humans and yet there are factors involved in our actions that are quite distinct. For example, we both have passions to procreate, but humans have additional conceptions, of "love" and "rape" and "casual sex" for example.

Would conceptions like "love" and "casual sex" and "rape" then be understood as evolutionary byproducts expressed in different sorts of brain activity?
