Pants. I know of know other animal which fashions and wears pants. Some of the most animalistic things that we do are done without pants. So there you go.

Our creativity and imagination, for starters. What other animal can play a guitar (none!) or compose a symphony? Humans are also incredible runners. Fit runners can outrun a horse (in distance). Humans are also great rock climbers - no other primate can climb up overhangs freestyle. Humans have a bad history of war, true, but they also tend to the sick and ill (even people they don't know) far better than any other animals can. In fairness to dogs, I think dogs would nurse humans if they had hands.
We weigh the stars and have some idea of the size of the universe, and its age. Thanks to the invention of writing (uniquely human) we can read the thoughts of people who died 5,000 years ago. Talented humans can bend forks with their minds. Humans are cool!

There are many things that set us apart from other animals on the earth.
We have a soul.
We have an intellegence that equipts us to produce things to better our lives.....like our homes, air conditioning, TV, schools, airplanes, etc
We take vacations. We studies other species. We communicate in detail, we have written word.
We are also devious and evil but choice but not by nature.
Are we better than the other animals. I often wonder

properly, once you're asking how we developed into what we are on the instant, there's a anthropological concept common by using fact the "scavenger concept" that states early hominids was once scavengers and consume brains/ bone marrow out of the corpses of animals. the wealthy protein helped us strengthen over the years and we developed cognitively. Scientists like Richard Leakey desperate this by using fact they suggested unusual scratches on the skulls/bones of historic animals that observed types too neat to be carried out by ability of yet another animal. The scratches have been too calculated for them to think of it replaced into yet another animal and that they desperate it replaced into hominids employing stone approaches to get to the marrow/brains. weird and wonderful, even nevertheless it truly is a concept. I might desire to additionally notice, this concept is under rigorous debate.

self awareness and the ability to completely change our environments to suit our needs...also reason....our huge range of emotions.....our higher level of intelligence (unless you are a politician - then you are an idiot)...wisdom(again, unless you are a politician)....the creation and continued improvement upon civilization....
I suppose there are a lot of things, aren't there?
