Humans are creatures that have evolved and become more civil throughout time. Animals on the other hand, are wilder and will do anything to survive. In the nonfictional novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, the Elie experiences the animosity humans can have for each other when they are desperate. The survival of the fittest is one of the oldest rules known in the history of Earth. “Men were hurling themselves against each other, trampling, tearing at and mauling each other.”(sec. 7) Humans are known for their civility and yet they are throwing themselves onto each one another. Without a question, humans would only do things that would benefit their own survival. “An extraordinary vitality possessed them, sharpening their teeth and nails.”(sec. 7)
