What makes you think you're different from any other animal?

Humanity is nothing special.

But there are none. You function on the same basic chemical reactions as every living thing. Your behavior is similar to other animals in many ways. You even create and use tools just as others do. Many assume our superior cognition sets us apart, but that is only an arrogant delusion: many animals are superior to us and each other in a variety of ways, what special place does cognition hold?
Miss the point? You asked what draws the line between animals and humans and that is mostly due to superior intelligence, imo. What more do you want?
What makes us different from other animals?
Well, humans also knowingly override their urge to procreate, to the point where they don't pass on any genes at all.I'm not biologist, not sure if any other creatures exhibit this trait.
You'll notice I never once argued that humans were superior to animals, only different. But you're so busy telling me that humans are nothing that you've missed my entire point.

But you're so busy telling me that humans are nothing that you've missed my entire point.You're arguing semantics. Many of the things you mentioned - intelligence, culture, conscience, are appreciated by humans and aim to show our superiority over other animals.
Not really. But you've brought up another aspect of humanity: We desire superiority.
