Dear Coch-friends,
 
From some days ago we are arguing about Homo sapiens Linneo. This is a
difficult discussion, because is about ourselves. the Homo sapiens is only
species with consciousness. 
 
The mammals into other things, (hair, mamma...) by a special maternal care
are different from others zoology class (please don't confusse with
maternal Aves class care). In fact the Homo sapiens is a very dependent
species of its parents from birth to 15-20 or 23 year old.  The work
developed its hands, and the life in society its conscience. Now the Homo
sapiens is the only species capableÿof to name to itself and the other
species. Several race has beem described for our species, but the mixture
into them  disabled to originate differents species.  
 
So is very difficult to encounter a Homo sapiens into a etanol. This will
be a philosophic problem. How we can to understand that one of us would be
in etanol ?  This is a serious problem. In zoology terms for a valid
species is necessary that this is deposited in a Museum. Would we to do a
exemption with us? I think, yes. 
 
"We are the master creation of the nature", but we are no alone, we have
to distribute this world with our little brothers (fungi, plants, 
animals...). This is the conscience of to be ourselves, Homo sapiens.
 
Thanks,
