Machines can function, but only at a certain level and cannot feel. Humans can feel sadness, happiness, fear, laughter, we see, respond, think. Humans are not perfect, we are able to learn and grow, change. We have the ability to dream, and visualize something, act on it, be creative. We can interpret, give feedback.

Humans, or human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man") in the family Hominidae (the great apes).[1][2] Compared to other living organisms on Earth, humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species. DNA evidence indicates that modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago,[3] and they now inhabit every continent, with a total population of over 6.6 billion as of 2007.[4]
Like most primates, humans are social by nature; however, humans are particularly adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization. Humans create complex social structures composed of cooperating and competing groups, ranging in scale from small families and partnerships to species-wide political, scientific and economic unions. Social interactions between humans have also established an extremely wide variety of traditions, rituals, ethics, values, social norms, and laws which form the basis of human society. Humans also have a marked appreciation for beauty and aesthetics which, combined with the human desire for self-expression, has led to cultural innovations such as art, literature and music.
Humans are also noted for their desire to understand and influence the world around them, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, philosophy, mythology and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills; humans are the only known species to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies.

Your chromosomes. We have 23 different types. Each is encoded for humanness. Even if you have a chromosome disorder like Downs syndrome you still are encoded to be a human.

Nothing, we are animals just like cows, dogs and fish. It's just that we've evolved further through narural selection with more executive functions that allow us to do more then just eat and sleep, just as complex emotions, etc. So thats what makes us human.

What makes us better than chickens? Name 6 ways we're better than chickens...
See? You can't do it. Because chickens are good people. You don't hear about a rooster coming home drunk and beating his wife, do you? You don't hear about a group of chickens going into another chicken's territory just to shoot the other's up, do you? No. You know why? Because chickens are good people.
