Elephants are said to be related to human beings this conclusion was reached Base on the following reasons
1: elephants mourn their love One's when they die on several occasions these animals have been observed Some caressing the remains of the dead elephant by touching them gently with their trunks and feet, while others smelled and tasted them and even attempted to lift and carry them around. Interestingly, some elephants have been found to carefully cover the bodies with soil, leaves and branches, almost as if performing burial rituals
2:Some elephants develop a white ring that encircles the iris as they mature. This ring is similar to an age-ring that may develop in humans (as they age) called arcus lipoides, and does not affect vision.
3:Elephants in captivity have often been seen playing with toys that are provided to them, such as soccer balls and large beach balls. They enjoy batting the ball around with their trunks. This can prove to be hours of fun. From a young age, elephant calves enjoy running around with their friends.just like children do
4:Elephants are very intelligent creatures. Like dolphins and chimpanzees, they are amongst the only animals to pass the mirror test. The test involves scientists placing marks on the elephant then putting a mirror in front of them. Elephants have been known to inspect themselves and recognize the marks placed on them. Because of this, we can even speculate that maybe they can recognize beauty? I guess till we know how to communicate with elephants we shall never know
5:And also just like humans can be left- or right-handed, elephants have a preference for using their left or right tusk
