When do we cross the line from 'animal' to 'person?'

Termites are still the only creatures that operate air conditioning systems controlling both temperature and humidity without the need for an artificial power source.

There are many creatures that perform what we would think of as intellectual tasks without the need for a complex brain. How do you think salmon find their way across thousands of miles of ocean to return to the stream of their birth in order to breed?

Only by thinking in anthropomorphic terms can you postulate human superiority. Many species have already survived much longer than human beings and human beings are currently following a pattern, followed by other species before, which may well lead to their own extinction.
Actually what you brought refutes (non-intelligent) evolution!!!

Tell you how...................

Salmon or Eels find their ways back to the same pond they were born, across seas even sometimes wet land or mud

The method is not important but what is important is the data!
The data of the position must come from an outside source, it cannot come from inside the animal

That is a big difference between human and animals
God guides animals by supplying them with this information
on the other hand humans need to learn from (other humans)

A non-intelligent evolution (if it ever happened) is impossible because those data need an external intelligent source (God) to feed them into the animal system/brain to utilize.
