The evolution of our cultures, civilizations, languages, etc. makes us appear special... but if you take all that away, a human being will/may just behave like a highly intelligent (savage) animal. It's what we are. We just adapt to what we're put into.
But we're capable of a lot more than that. The point I was trying to make is if you tried to purge the "animal-like" qualities inherent with in us, it would destroy everything we are; the good and the bad, the sophisticated and the primitive, the angel and the savage, even the capacity for love.
I feel very deeply about this.
