Homo Sapiens, a term known more commonly as Humans. A form of species that evolves day & night, developing inventions and creations that leaves a footprint in the history we write. Yet, what raises the humanity in people is what lies beneath the surface, in which their abilities to express emotions & having certain morals or virtue in which they gain abilities to tell a right decision from wrong, may come through.

First of all, the quote “Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover,” - Edwin Rolfe, thought of as one of them many famous quotes known throughout time, one meant to unite humans as one. It stands for the fact a person shouldn’t be declared human or not based on what is on the outside. We as humans must focus on what they as a person believe

They are due to the complete absence of what sort of evidence can settle the question of which group or groups of primates should be counted as human.…
