| I agree with .1.
Let me add -
o Our ability to laugh
o Our ability to blush
o Our sense of modesty
o Our potential to destroy our environment

I saw some interesting things, one however seems to be missed.
Humans have a concept of self, we to the best of our knowledge are
self aware. I suspect but cannot prove that we are also the only
animal that ponders about our ability to think and have such awareness.

Not true. Cats have been shown to kill for fun.

| I wonder if that's true, Marc. The way cats often play with and
torture mice and birds that they capture, and then when finished
killing their prey off they deposit it on the doorstep of the house,
suggests to me that killing prey can be a sort of game for cats.
I say this despite the fact that I love cats, and I would want no part
of an afterlife without them. :-)

And we're on the same side. Perhaps we should save those
notes. :-)

Well, not to change the topic to "Cats".....
My cats do "play" with the prey, but, they do eat it or try to give it
to me as a gift. There is more just a fun part to the kill.

| Hmmm, I agree with Alfred and Mike on this one. My cats seem to
enjoy playing with the prey. Some will eat it after, some will not.
They've given up trying to make a gift to me of the 'kill'; my
screaming must have turned them off.
I've also seen cats display other human characterics such as kindness
for each other.

There are laws fully protecting the fertilized eggs of many animals
throughout the entire gestation period, human eggs don't have that
protection.
Perhaps this is part of the human's ability to destroy it's
environment or perhaps that we enjoy killing for fun. ;^(
