We have complex brain and are at the top of the food chain. Our brain gives us imagination and innovation which propelled us forward in terms of technology, and also in other aspects of our lives.

Besides any physical differences, the most important factor is probably our self awareness. This gives us the ability to reason on a what if basis, to consider possibilities and our own mortality. This is however theory as we don't know exactly what goes on in the minds of animals. There are several things that come together that help magnify the difference: self awareness, our ability to reason, the grasping hand with oppose-able thumb and our ability to use tools. These things taken together account for much of the difference between people and other animals although not all of them are unique to humans.

The only real difference is that we have self-awareness, the result of a complex, large and very developed brain.

We are able to reason. Unfortunately, we can also be extremely destructive....
