At which end of the spectrum do we fall?

In his essay"The Damned Human Race," Mark Twain's comments force us to ask ourselves "at which end of the animal spectrum do we fall."  Twain's essay utilizes many examples that prove his points.  Whether you concur with Twain or not, which of his pieces of data provides the most convincing argument in your eyes?  What events from history or society today do you connect to this argument?  Explain.  (The deadline to post a response to this post is midnight, Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2013.)
