The Hebrew oral history? Please elaborate on that, wilco.

Here are possibilities to suggest that humans are something other than another animal:

Humans build and create a vast number of artificial things, many of which they do not actually need, but simply enjoy or find interesting or make a profit from. Some animals create a single thing...like a nest...which they do need. I see a key difference right there.

Humans worry constantly about possible future events that they make up in their minds (the majority of which never happen). I don't believe animals do that...they live much more in the moment.

Humans can think about the thinking process itself, and may discuss it at great length. I don't think animals do that at all.

I may be wrong. So may you. So, what is so radical about suggesting that humans are not just another animal, unless all you can see when you look at a human is bones, soft tissue, and a biological structure. Yes, we have animal bodies, but we do other behavioural and mental things that are strikingly unlike the behaviour of animals.
