"I wonder when humans began to think of themselves as better than every other species. Did it just randomly happen? or were they always like that?"
See my previous post. No. Took place over many millennia. When mankind got to the point where they thought they could hunt and kill every other species, that is when they thought they were superior to every other species. That is also when warfare started to take off. They realized that for killing to really be a challenge they would have to kill each other.
This is in context of a primal mindset. A higher order mind realizes that all beings have the same existential worth, in the eyes of God, or whatever standard one wishes to apply.
