Are humans fundamentally different from other animals?

I'm just curious on your guys's thoughts on this idea. It can be taken from a philosophical, scientific, psychological, religious, or other perspective. I'm interested in all of them. I ask that y'all include what you consider "fundamental," because what's fundamental to one person may not be the same as what's fundamental to another, and humans and other animals may or may not be fundamentally different depending on what you consider fundamental. Have at it.

Well yes that definitely depends on how you define the term fundamental. Because on a biological level we're basically identical. We certainly have a better sense of reasoning than other animals and can manipulate our environment more, but I don't think that means we're fundamentally different. If it is that you could say every animal is fundamentally different from all others and that wouldn't make humans any more unique than any other specialized creature. I think as humans we have kind of a human bias, which makes sense. We seem to have almost removed ourselves from the food chain, and we definitely have access states of consciousness that other animals don't but it's possible there may be animals that have access to states of consciousness that we don't have. The one thing we do have that animals don't is the ability to choose between good and evil but maybe all creatures have that ability at a certain level of cognition.
