haha i know what you mean but I mean that we can for example think about the past and think about what we want etc.
Animals normally cant do this.

@Totoro: Well rats are very empathetic, it has been proven. They have memories, etc. O.o I still think they are better than us. lmao

@MorbidCynic: that is really cool. Yes many humans are really false. And pets are the best :)

I know within the human skeletal system there is a passage way that allows air to flow through thus giving us an ability to speak. Chimps and apes do not have this and so cannot communicate as well. It led to further advancements and knowledge over time

But our mind is better. I meant that. we can think about the past etc

If you listen to lectures by Dr Neil Degrasse Tyson, or listen to startalk radio, they bring up a very interesting premise, the evolutionary benefit of our intelligence is derived from a 1% difference in similarity to primates, so in that 1% of difference, we get everything we've ever invented, everything ever made, and it stemmed the question, what if beings had a similar 1% difference to us, so that we looked like primates to them.

@Firespirit: nah we had ritual burial and art and tool making that separated us before then

yeah but that turning point is where man kind became more than another animal they used nature to service them and became #1 race
Well it's kind of subjective..We definitely are more intelligent than a lot of other animals.. It does seem like whales and dolphins are quite intelligent as well they just can't manipulate their environment like we can.

Yes. But then it is about which intelligence we talk about. Social or just what is the best way to be egoistic haha. Sure know what you mean.

@Totoro: Animals have more of a connection to their past than we do, ancestral memories, that enables them to eat what is not poisonous for them, and travel sometimes back to a place they have never been to. We humans have to look up in a book what we can forage, animals know, it's a Link to their ancestors, a link we've forgotten.
You are right though that other animals generally deal with the here and now and any impending danger though
