Other species have, just like us :
- consciousness
- language
- culture
But they don't have the capacity to transmit information through centuries and millennia.
You disagree ? Discuss !

Some animals have culture the ability to pass on information to the next generation. Chimps do this plus many other animals.
Remember we are just Bright Apes.

There is one very definite difference between us and other animals. Most of the traits we believe are human are shared by other species, like love or self-awareness or communication, among others, except that is, for faith. Other animals do not worship a creator.
I believe, if it were possible to ask, they would have no idea what we were talking about if we were to suggest such a thing. They would probably believe we had a screw loose, and they would probably be correct.

How do you know Monkeys, Apes and other animals don't recite poetry?
They could have complex stories for all we know.
For all we know, they know how evil Humans can be, so they just keep their mouths shut when we are around.

personally it boils down to creating art, in all it's forms.
the moment dolphins can come up with something like the Sistine chapel, i will reconsider!
