What makes us so different from other organisms?

Question

Is it just intelligence and body structure? I very highly doubt it. Somebody tell me please.

Answer 1

a sense of arrogant superirority?

is there a simpler way to say 'we think our *&%* doesn't stink'?

scientifically and biologically we are no different from any other animal.. except by what is necissary to classify us as a seperate species..

Answer 2

1.  Integrated consciousness.  Other animals think, but not with the degree and depth and self-awareness that we do.

2.  Control of fire.  Other animals do not gather stones in rings to keep fire under control.

3.  Knapping stone.  Other animals use stone tools and even have favorite stones, but no other animals deliberately break stones to make better tools.

4.  Spirituality -- a thought process which attempts to connect things that are unrelated.  Other animals do not worship a god or gods.

Answer 3

bipedalism and language

Answer 4

the main difference is this...

we human beings have armed ourselves with the knowledge of Good and Evil

we are good and the world is evil

we are constantly waging a war against nature to turn this planet  into a life support system for our race...

other organisms do not wage war on other organisms or their environment

to put it in simpler terms, we're conceited =/
