First give citations. WHO, specifically, denies (1) humans are warm blooded (2) have spines (3) give live birth ?

I’ll be pretty amazed if you find someone who denies ANY of those 3 propositions, much less ALL 3.

And unless the tendency to deny ALL 3 is extremely widespread, it would be absurd to call it “an instinct."

Wish for privacy for certain biological functions. Dualism. Great chain of being. Bestial being negative etc.

Ppl don't literally deny mammalian properties. They can't. They present animal status, carnality, biology as bad

It's not that they deny that humans have mammalian traits, they insist we have "something more"...

We also like to distance ourselves from animal nature. Animal means non-human. Bestial is bad.

Procreation/defecation are shameful & to be done in private. And yes, ideas that we're 'really' souls.
