Why humans are so distinct from other species?

[CapnAwesome]

To be honest, I didn't read any page before page 6, so I might sound redundant here.

Humans are much different than other species. In more ways than I could say. In fact, why is this a question?

It's fairly baffling to me too. The points that people bring up totally ignore the question of scale. Yes other animals can learn language or use tools, but to an nth degree to the scale that humans do.
