Should biologists classify humans as parasites?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
MARK say: If you knew what the term 'parasite' meant you would not pose this question. No, humans are not parasites, neither ecto- nor endoparasites.
-
JOHN say: Ye.s just look at chief parasite Trumpee
-
busterwasmycat say: not according to the strict definition used in biology. Sociology can discuss parasitic behaviors, but that is a metaphorical use.
-
Isrrael say: Yes. In a way we are. Think of it as a bunch of lice colonizing somebody's head and draining all of its resources, that's what we humans are doing to this earth.

As we type away, here, on Y!A, humans are looking for more planets to infest!
-
Chris Ancor say: No, we are predators.
-
G. Whilikers say: Just the sub-class of humans who think that way.
-
Henry say: No.
-
say: Only victim mentality loser low lives you never try to get better. And blame everybody else for all their **** and make us suffer for it.
-
Geo say: In a funny way, yes. Or maybe Opportunists. But clearly from a scientific sense we are OMNIVORES.
