How are humans different from animals when it comes to "habits"?

Humans & Animals:


Humans consist of the same biodegradble matter as everything else... however we have an advantage which is our mind.

"If making associations is not thinking, then I would have to conclude that I do not think." People with autism and animals both think by making visual associations. These associations are like snapshots of events and tend to be very specific. For example, a horse might fear bearded me n when it sees one in the barn, but bearded men might be tolerated in the riding arena. In this situation the horse may only fear bearded men in the barn because he may have had a bad past experience in the barn with a bearded man".

Habits which each species has are included in the physces of each respective conscious making decision. However humans have mathematics as a area of knowledge which makes us use this are of knowledge to discern the world around us. Animals don't have this, areA of knowledge, and they don't have art which is another habit making way to look at this world.

El arte es una mentira que nos acerca a la verdad.

[Art is a lie that brings us nearer to the truth.] - Picasso

Habits are induced form the brain, and since us humans have a usable brain that we can clearly mold our world with then we have ways of knowing... which for this matter i will pick religion & science.

Religion molds quite a lot in what we think about and how we see this world. Animals don't have none of this. WE also have science which also molds our world, in the understanding of it, animals lack this aswell.
