He makes no claims about other mammals' spirituality. Just about human distaste for seeing selves as mammals.

But you are a mammal & historically we have denied this so I find it interesting & valuable to finally be exploring it.

And I find it very interesting how others mirror this. We're 'more' than animals & this 'moreness' is spiritual.
