Not really- we are just another creature on the earth but the only difference is that we are at the top of the food chain! WE only assume we are special because we can talk,build, and learn new skills ect. But we also have the capacity on a negative level to Destroy the enviroment, start wars, and in certain extremes cause mass destruction that can cause death and usually justify it with some noble cause or such like.

We also have the reasoning to pro-create and to explore our world and beyond - Only if we face our fear of the unknown and head for the stars, no matter if it take the next 100yrs , we must See for ourselves what is out in our galaxy and explore the outer planets, after all Probes can only do So Much , They cannot as yet show emotions of sheer wonderment of standing on an ailien world - uless you happened to be a former NASA Apollo Astronaut or one of the next gen. of Astronauts for the next moon mission.. if it gets the go ahead to stand on the moon and explore. So in some ways we are a little special But in the grand scheme of the universe we are nothing more than mere Ants in an anthill. We have along way to go before we can become something Special or Extinct!! Our choice :)

Despite our ability of free will and our outstounding ability to totally misuse it every chance we get and our choice to disregaurd our conscence just because we can and our intelligence and low commosense, and that we're the only creatures destroying the earth because of our intelligence and disregaurd of life nearly entirely....we're just like everything else. The only thing special about us is that we're trhe only ones that kill for spite and/or pleasure or jealousy, kill everything around us for profit or just because we don't want it there, don't have fur and we're the only creatures able to hat and teach hate and anger. There are some good things about us too, but the bad always outweighs the good.
no offense to humans, i'm merely stating the facts of research and from what i see on a daily basis.

We're the only creatures with conscience as well as the choice to disregard it.

We're the only creatures that question our self-existence and philosophize about the order of the world.

We're the only creatures capable of feeling emotions brought on by circumstances or actions that no other creature is likely ever to feel.

We're the only creatures that dream of an ideal and actively pursue and fight for it.

We're the only creatures that care for what is intangible.

As far as being a living being, we are just another creature. The difference lies in that we are capable of living without aging, but science doesn't know why we don't. On the cellular level, we never get older than seven years of age. Also our brains are capable of storing over 10,000 years of experiences. No other animal has that ability.

I think humanity is something special. Humans are the only beings (that really know of) that search for a higher purpose, for the meaning of life, and are capable of making moral judgements. I think that sets humanity apart from the rest.

Your choice. If you choose to be just like ordinary animals on this planet, so be it. Humans are special because they have the ability to create, produce, protect, and destroy all at the same life time. While most animals live everyday trying to survive and get along with one another - prey and predator - humans prey on their own. Hey! We're worse than mere animals!
