are humans an alien species? every other species on earth coexists in some way with the planet; they act in ways that are based on their surroundings and benefit to the local ecosystem in some way. humans don't really do that. at least, not anymore.
Not really? The animals act as much as their environment allows them to. Over time balance is achieved. But if you take species into another environment they will wreak havoc on it no problem, see Australia. And there were also species in the past that were speculated to be too successful which led to their demise. I think Megalodon shark is probably the best example.

Everyone loves cats it seems but they are usually awful for native wildlife. Here in New Zealand they kill our native birds which is really bad considering that we dont have many of them left.
A short look at how highly conserved molecular biology is at the cellular level will disabuse you of this. ATPases for example are pretty much the same in all life from Clostridia (current candidate for the most Basal life-form still around) up to us, trees, fungai, weird Archaea extremophiles etc
I think it's more that we're an invasive species, we see the same thing happen when plants and other animals move beyond the ecosystem they evolved in.

Creationist non-sense. Humans evolved from chimps like 4 million years ago.

I'm pretty sure we meet the definition of an invasive species
