Great post.

All I can add for now is that Biology is not Anthropology. This is a basic distinction I learnt years ago in Philosophy.

The fundamental question of Anthropology is "what are human beings?". Biology's basic question rather is "what is life?".

So be careful. Insects and plants are life. So are humans. If one equates everything, we're leaving out of Biology only rocks.

Someone who is very, very technical (and tech-bro minded) will answer humans beings "a collection of organic molecules in human form". Which does not answer the question. Wtf is then "human form"?

Then they fall into the idealistic rabbit hole and spout social-darwinistic stuff, which is Malthusian economics plus protofash shit. At the end of the day, rightist biologists will not treat a cockroach differently from a human. Unless said cockroach is worth a billion dollars.
