Humans are considered to be Social Animal. I don't see any difference between being and animal. If you know kindly explain. Next, the 'living for mutual benefit' that's true we live for mutual benefit. If you don't get, you won't give. That's Social. Whereas in animal nature, you won't give even if you get. That's the difference I feel.
