Recently there has been renewed interest in a very old question; what makes humans so unique to other Life Forms on Earth and separates them from all other animals? In fact this very question re-surfaced in an online think tank and here is what one think tanker had to say about it.

In answering the question; "What makes humans so unique?” truthfully without egocentric human bias the answer is probably "not a damn thing” that is the answer as I observe it. Can you prove otherwise? I bet you can't using scientific methods, selective and alternative observations or any other method.

Another think tanker and the principle investigator in the; "What Makes Humans Unique” project; an experiment to prove mankind is indeed unique will carry out research to see if it is indeed so. Yet this was challenged by another think tanker who stated:

"Why the experiment to prove what is observable? There is nothing fictio

nal about that observation really, it just is. It is not good or bad, it simply is; Humans are animals.”

Of course humans are indeed animals, but they appear to be higher-order mammals and have some unique-ness to them that has helped them to the top of the animal kingdom chart and classification, but what is that something that makes them unique? Consider this in 2006.
