Explain HOW there is an “instinct” to deny “we are warm-blooded, vertebrates that produce live young."

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."

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"...

Replying to @Banned_Ali
There is our capacity of λόγος or reason, which obviously DOES set us apart from other animals.

No-one denies this. Some other animals are set apart by being able to regrow limbs or be fastest.
