Humans are civilized, social animals. A cat, may became embarrassed, or a parrot may repeat dial tones, and a dolphin may create signals with other dolphins, but they do not have the ability to comprehend exactly what it is that they are doing. Its natural instinct, its in their genes to do so. They are genetically trained to do the things they do, they can do nothing but what natures has instructed them to do.
For the question of emotion, how do you define an emotion? An emotion, is merely an adjective for feelings, and attempting to describe these feelings, would take adjectives in its self *IE* emotions. Emotions are what you consider them to be, it is however, and in whatsover mode, by whatsoever means, you are affected by something. Emotion in its self cannot be describe, so how can you possibly use it to describe something.
But I must admit, at times the mind is incredibly strange, and 'emotions' happen sometimes for no reason, so i suppose, it wouldnt be entirely wrong to assume emotions are what make humans,humans.
But in my personal opinion, i say logic, and the ability to reason, are what make humans,humans...although animals may be able to do all sorts of things, erect large complex ants piles, communicating in strange patterns,ect., its not from experience, or any true knowledge...they do it because its all they can do.
""That all knowledge begins with experience, there can be no doubt...""
