Animals and Humans
Human is animal.
Humans can move, eat, make sounds. Most other animals can move, eat and produce sounds. Humans can think. Some non-human animals can also think.
Most animals have brains. Humans have the most matured brains among animals.
Humans consider themselves the most intelligent animal on the planet.
Humans invented many things
In ancient times, humans used to live in the jungles. They used to live in caves. They hunted and ate raw food. Humans started living differently from most other animals.
They discovered to cover their body with clothes.
Humans invented how to ignite a fire by rubbing dry and hard objects, such as stones. They learned how to use firs to cook. It changed their lives for better.
They started to cook food. Eating raw food became obsolete (or unique/abnormal).
Humans formed tribes and communities
Humans started to form small communities among themselves. They found that living together was easier to fight natural calamities and anomalies of life.
They started to go hunting in a group.
They were afraid of natural calamities.
Humans started worshipping the power of natural calamities.
Humans started believing superpowers
While fearing the natural powers, humans invented fictitious daemons in their minds. They started to worship the fictitious daemons.
Humans started to ask many questions, such as "Who might have created this living kingdom" and "What is the bright light delivering entity (Sun)," and so on.
The curious minds of humans almost invented a concept of a super-entity.
Humans invented the concepts of religion and politics
Among the tribes and communities of humans, a more intelligent and ambitious smaller number of individuals existed. More and more humans followed their advice. They became the leaders of the tribes and communities.
Human leaders tried to govern their follower groups of people with rules and norms set by them. The leaders started to control the members of their tribes.
The rules and norms of the tribal leaders might have resulted in the preliminary basis for two interrelated subjects - "religion" and "politics."
Religion and politics remain the two ever-dominating subjects in human society
The inception of religion and politics gave the tribal leaders the much-needed power to control a large number of people among their tribes and communities.
Gradually, religion and politics evolved as the two ever-dominating subjects in human civilization. Both subjects prevailed as crowd pullers.
You can often see news that religious leaders take active parts in campaigns to support political leaders during general elections in different countries.
It compels me to ask a question.
Have religion and politics evolved as the two sides of the same coin - ruling power?
Do other non-human animals have religion and politics?
It is a deep topic of research in animal psychology.
A curious mind may ask a few questions.
Do other animals have religion and politics?
Do the animals worship super daemons?
The non-humans, i.e., the other animals are assumed to have less developed brains and intelligence. They might not have enough intelligence to invent religion and politics.
Some research suggested that some species of apes and elephants might have a small degree of spirituality towards the Sun, Moon, and the stars. There is no evidential proof in support of these psychological suggestions.
Animals fight among themselves for food.
If the animals were enough intelligent, they would have invented religion and politics or something similar to control the weaker animals (of the same species) to "work" and "hunt" foods for the leaders.
Animals don't generally fight with their own species.
Humans are fond of fighting with their communities since time immemorial.
Many past/present battles and wars were/are being fought.
Closing thoughts
Some queer thoughts continue to haunt my mind.
Some of you may call it a rant or rants. Please excuse me.
The fighting among the humans compelled me to think this way.
I don't get any clarity why humans have to fight among themselves.
Are we (humans) more intelligent than other non-human animals?
Can we (humans) live in harmony with other living beings, including our fellow global citizens from all locations and territories?
I beg your pardon in advance if some of you do not resonate with it.
I believe in free thinking and sustainable living.
Please feel free to raise your views.
I believe in freedom of speech.

Actually there are animals who's as you said is working and hunting for their leaders. And those are ants and bees. Their colonies need to do their task in order for their groups to survive the wildlife. Also just like us humans who fight with other races, ants are fighting with other types of ants in different colonies. For sure some animals has politics too, just like the lions they have pride male who's the leader of it's pride. There's alpha in the wolves and in the pack of wolves has different tasks too. There's the Alpha, beta, lead warrior, Hunters and etc. We humans are just copying the nature and that's what I believe on
