I have taken Biology in college, but I can't ever remember learning about if man is carbon based and if so, are we the only mammals who are???

TIA

Here's some kudos, was an important question even though its not what I wanted to hear

But...I am still certain that we are merely a few tears away from discovering silicon-based life.

Having taught general biology, carbon as the backbone of life is not generally a huge focus. I remember getting that info in chem :?
