On the other hand, it's because of his attempt at hybridization in "Daleks in Manhattan", but he's also trying to work through those feelings. And while he's trying to examine human culture... it doesn't always go quite as simply as some of the more iconic examples of this trope (see ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' or his reaction to ''Film/{{Avatar}}''). But on the other-other hand, he views humans as a great species because HumansAreWarriors. See below for more clarification.
