| Description: | Human beings like to spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be a human being. Indeed, this self-absorption could act as a criterion to determine species membership. More often than not efforts in this domain result in statements about how different humans are from other primates and other creatures more generally. Abilities such as language and higher order reasoning are called upon to support this distinction and very frequently the phenomenon of culture is invoked. |
