Poll : What are 7 characteristics of humankind

December 7th, 2007 by blainegarrett

Hey friends. I need your help!
What are 7 adjectives that you would use to describe homo sapiens that, for the most part, distinguish us from other animals? I’d like come up with 7 distinct characteristics and then break that into degrees. So something like “compassionate” and “hateful” are different degrees of some single characteristic… perhaps “the ability to care” or something like that. I hope all you anthropology and psych majors can help me out here!

By the way, this is for a new series I am doing. Help out my muse and answer:
