Is a muscle tissue to a human, just the same a human to the human species?

[Jacob Morres]

Muscle tissue is critical to a human's survival and it cannot survive with it. It is quite impossible to imagine a human without its tissues, and the underlying cells that make up the tissue etc.

So like this, is a human as critical to the human species? To me the former, is so intense, but the latter, i take a more libertarian approach where i feel independence is more possible. Is a human deeply interwoven into the human species, in a similar fashion? Weird question ik excuse me lol

@Jacob Morres Not weird at all. You're touching on the idea of holons. Google it. Read Ken Wilber's books if you're interested.

Although certain animals live and interact like a big organism for example bees, there is no point into believing that humans are needed for humanity survival, we are super independents. Ive heard cases of hermits that spent their lives taking care of monasteries in inaccessible mountains and wouldnt have relationship with other humans within years.
