      I think it’s our grasp of emotions, feelings, and so on. We are able to understand and interpret the world around us on a very high level, which means we interact in different ways than other animals that don’t have that level of relationship with their surroundings.

      What makes us human is our social values in addition to the biological status of being able to use a well-developed brain. While humans can invent things like airplanes and spacecraft, spend money and know the value of goods and services, produce food by planting and rearing animals. We are also able to show love or hatred to one another.
      These things are not shown in animals at the degree expressed in Humans.
