“Human beings are animals because as homo sapiens we all evolved thousands of years ago”.
Which informal fallacy is committed in the above argument?

Correct option is A

The fallacy of composition and division is committed when an argument assumes that what is true for the part is true for the whole (composition) or what is true for the whole is true for the parts (division). In this case, the argument incorrectly assumes that since human beings evolved as homo sapiens, this fact must apply to the general classification of humans as animals. The premise that humans evolved does not necessarily justify the classification of all humans as animals based on that evolutionary aspect, which creates a fallacy of division.
Information Booster:
1. Fallacy of Composition and Division: This fallacy arises when it's assumed that what's true for the part must be true for the whole, or vice versa.
2. Composition Example: "Each brick in this building is small, so the building must be small."
3. Division Example: "The building is large, so each brick must be large."
4. Application in the Argument: In the argument, the evolutionary status of humans as homo sapiens is used to make a generalization about human beings being animals, creating the fallacy.
