The underlined bolded is utter tripe.
1. Humans ARE animals.
2. Brown dogs don't "almost always gravitate" to other brown dogs, cows with spots don't "almost always gravitate" to other cows with spots, long-haired cats don't "almost always gravitate" to other long-haired cats - you get the idea. Cats almost always gravitate to other cats. Humans almost always gravitate to other humans.
That's as far as you can take it, when using the term "almost always gravitate" with regards to animals other than humans.
Humans, on the other hand, tend to be more selective than almost any other animal in the kingdom. And it isn't always similar traits - there's a reason the phrase "opposites attract" exists.
