Notice the different language applied to humans and animals, though. We’ve already seen this with pride, the word used for humans, versus dominance in other species. Similarly, a person who gets into trouble with others or loses a contest is said to be ashamed, whereas a chimp under the same circumstances is merely submissive or acting like a subordinate. We prefer functional terms for animals, whereas for ourselves we focus on the feelings behind behavior. We are reluctant to imply that animals may have the same feelings or any feelings at all.
