1. We make and use tools.As do many animals, including birds. The chimpanzee has the best tool belt.
2. Art. No animal has ever drawn beautiful pictures and expressions of their creative imagination.Art is purely subjective. If you can define art, I'll give a better answer.
3. Speech. Although animals can communicate, our speech is far superior including lenghty online debates between intelligent people, in written form.Yet with all our words, we still don't communicate as efficiently as most animals.
4. Fire. Animals flee from fire, we USE fire.You'd soon revert to your animal instincts if your house were ablaze.
5. Burial. Humans bury their dead. We are aware of our mortality. We think about the forever after.Animals too mourn their dead. Granted, they don't bury them, but neither do some civilisations today.
To believe we are animals, is to deny the very basic inate sensation of knowing we are human beings.Who said we aren't human?
We've put men on the moon, split the atom, sent probes to distant space, discovered and cured many diseases, painted the sistine chapel, built 500 meter towers, etc etc...How many of those things did
you do?
It is obvious we are different.Just as the cat is different from the dog.
