Colin A. Chapman and Michael A. Huffman, Why do we want to think humans are different?

Abstract

Humans are certainly unique among living species. This is evident in the transformation of human environments and its resulting impact on other animals. However, many of the traits unique to humans are costly as well as adaptive and should certainly not be used to elevate their status above that of other species.
