    If you consider it the difference is that human children are not capable of looking after themselves for several years, unlike most mammals where a child is capable of running within a few hours. There is the reason, humans spend a lot longer developing their brains and their physicality.

    If you think Humans have control of the world you are quite mistaken. The pandemic has disproven this conceit.

    Well, that is what makes humans *different* from pigs and dogs, isn't it.

    Opposable thumbs and a highly developed level of intelligence. How that came about is a mystery but it took about 2.4 million years to get to the point where we think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. Other creatures have been around for longer, but few have invented the wheel.
