7. The definition of "more important" was in the quote you took issue with.

"man belongs to an order of being that is separate from and higher than the rest of the living community"

Wasn't it?

The point is, value judgements like that are nothing more than anthropomorphic/-centric mythology.
That judgement is also a recent one, relatively speaking in the 3 million years of human history and is peculiar to our culture which was 'born' in the Fertile Crescent about 10,000 years ago.
