I'll make my comment from the view point of a Physiologist.

It's our higher intellectual abilities that differentiate us from our lower brothers. Our frontal cortex is extensively developed..The frontal cortex is the anterior part of the "brain". This part of the brain undergoes the highest level of postnatal development.

Why is this important to us? The dorsolateral and orbitolateral prefrontal cortex give us the ability to carry out executive functions - planning, sequencing of activities, memory, division of attention, emotion management, personality, etc. In fact, the subcallosal and subgenual regions of our brains are implicated in suicidal tendencies. With these, humans have the ability to carry out complex functions.

As for our animal brothers, phylogenetically older regions of the brain such as the limbic system are more developed in them. These regions are involved in olfaction and other life-saving functions. A good example of this is the incredible olfactory skills of a lion. It's able to pick up the smell of a potential prey meters away.

So, cognition and general coordination are the major differentiating factors between humans and other animals.

Such scientific ignorance and impaired cognitive ability among our Youths makes me sad and worried over the fate of this country in terms of scientific development in this jet age . . really sad embarassed
