This didn't mean that when human thinking was in a short term, then humans were animals. It's not like that. But it's the fact that God gave animals to think tactically. whereas humans can not only think tactically, but also can think strategically (through planning).

That's why humans can dominate animals, because humans also have tactical weapons through their tactical thinking to subdue animals

Even human's short-term planning is not categorized as the result of short-term thinking, but through long-term thinking that is able to plan short-term strategies to anticipate tactical steps from animals (which were even shorter than human short-term strategies)

Human planning is still longer than animal short-term thinking.

Did animal have a strategy. No!

Seeing a strategy in animals, it's not really strategy, it's short term tactical thinking.

It's just that because the pattern is a "thought pattern", there is a resemblance to that in humans, "there are signs of thinking".

And because through thinking humans can strategize to overcome situations, then when it was seen that animals were able to overcome situations with a pattern similar to human thinking, then it's said that animals could make strategies. No!

Even though animals could think like human , it's just that animal thinking has limitation compared to human.

This thin characteristic makes researchers suspect "animals could think as we did" hehe. It's old story... they just about knew lately. Too late then, hehe. So don't be overestimate, since actuallly it's because the thin line was invisible.

The thin line? Animals cannot plan their own future experiences, whereas humans can.

So any pattern of behavior seen in animals in dealing with situations similar to humans (can be taught, can choose, can count blah blah blah), actually has limitations that are far from those of humans.
