There is
Human are the only species that are able to develop
Human has very small instincts, they need to learn

Animals base most of their actions on instincts
Humans like other animals have their own characteristics some of which are unique to them. That doesn't make them any less animal. All animals develop over time. That's what natural selection is all about. You would be surprised how much you rely on instinct and emotion for your motivation, just like other mammals.
