Back in the Original Post, the question was asked:
Why are humans the only really intelligent beings on the planet Earth capable of creating citys, technology, etc.
So far the question of what is needed for technology hasn't really been addressed. For example, could a creature without grasping appendages have technology? How are cities different than Prairie Dog villages?
Where is the line on technology? Is chipping flint considered technology? If so, would the Bonobo nut breaking rock and anvil qualify as technology since they bring tools (rocks suitable for them to use) to the much larger anvil rock?
