Bipedal creature found on Earth. First creature in the biosphere to succesfully refine abstract thought into more than the ability to lie and/or delude itself, humans developed the technique of picturing the way things might be and then planning ways to make reality fit the pattern.
This faculty turns in upon itself, however, when the attempt fails, leading to such emotional conflicts as self-loathing, bias against more succesful others, self-worship, or sublimation of individualism into a group mind.
Humans have borrowed many traits from other species such as hunting for pleasure ( from cats and squids ), enslaving other species ( from ants ), protecting and nurturing other species to gather products from them ( from ants ), spoiling other creatures habitats by their own constructs ( from beavers ), and creating and sharing habitats with other creatures ( from corals, rodents and birds ). Humans have invented several concepts for themselves, such as artistic endevour for its own sake, resource gathering and stockpiling for its own sake, ignorance and self-delusion as a natural right, love and attraction not solely for the purpose of reproduction, worship of the different, lack of diversity as a positive, and worship of the identical.
Humans are capable of percieving that they are less than what they imagine themselves to be. This is not only their major problem, it is also their major strength.

1. The cause of the 6th mass extinction in Earth's timeline
2. A detriment to pretty much every animal that has lived within the past 50,000 years.
Me: "So, how do you think of humans."
bear: "They're fucking terrible. They kill our population, take over our land, and now we have to deal with the ass smelling smog that pumps out of their moving boxes. Do you know how many animals have gone extinct because of these assholes? I mean the only animals who are actually benefiting from these fuckers are cats and dogs. They betrayed our own kind and decided to side with the humans. It's like they don't even know the damage humans are causing to the rest of their kind while they sleep in their giant cabins being manipulated with bones and yarn. And don't even get me started on those bricks they stare at all day long."
Me: "Yeah, We're pretty fucking terrible."
bear: "Yeah, you are."

A bipedal, naked mammal that goes mighty fine with red pepper and jalopenos. A surprising number of survey results have shown that the market for human meat is going up.
On a semi-related basis, human horn is not only a delicacy, but also an aphrodesiac.
"I had some stir-fried human appendages the other day. It was pretty good. The chef had a fairly unique recipe for fried jalepenos, too."

At first glance, you may think this primate is basically evil on two feet. Only at closer inspection would you realize that while evil usually is accompanied by a tiny bit of intelligence, humans are lacking in that. Therefore we must come to the conclusion that humans are, in fact, just big stupid moneys with technology.
Look at the big retarded monkey with a nuclear bomb! Wait, that's a prominant world figure.

Very clever(?) parasites that manage not only to manipulate other lifeforms in order to fulfil their ever expanding desires, but also to brainwash themselves into believing that they are doing this for the good of these others.
"I enjoy hanging out with him when there is nobody else available, not because his pathetic existence makes me feel better about mine, and not because I am afraid of being alone,..... it's because we're friends and I think he needs company"
