Quite simple. There are certain animals that have one over us. Regrowing limbs or teeth, better sensual capabilities, the works. If we are supposed to be the masterpiece, we're a pretty poor example as it is. Not to speak of the evolutionary remnants in our own body. Google is your friend if you were to look them up. Not that I think you would do that, since your type never does.
For that matter, the jury is still out -- in terms of evolutionary fitness -- on human-grade intelligence. We might prove to be yet another evolutionary dead end: unable to collectively overcome our emotional 'wiring' and therefore too smart for our own good.
