"Human" is just a term we use to flatter ourselves while we're trapped here. One reality transcends; the other is.
IOW: Our words mean little enough; our being is what matters. Humanity is self-absorbed.

Not sure what you mean by "trapped" in your earlier statement, or in fact, the whole statement. The second one rings very true to me though! |

the answer to the op depends on how you define humanity. for me it is much more than this anatomy.

Right... if being human is simple anatomy... then the answer is the same regardless of what organism you plug into the question. "When is a dog no longer a dog?", "When is a tree no longer a tree?"
It may help to ask when we think we became "human". For instance, were Neanderthal's human? |
