Although humans are similar to other animals, we also differ from other species in various ways.

One of the features that make humans unique is our ability to walk upright. This frees up our front limbs, meaning that we can use them to complete various tasks. Other primates, such as chimpanzees, can walk upright only for brief distances.

The human hand is also different from those of other primates. Because human thumbs are located opposite to our other fingers, we are capable of grabbing objects with a precision grip. The precision grip has made it possible for us to build and use all kinds of tools that other animals cannot

Humans are different from other animals in terms of our highly developed brains. The human brain is relatively large and complex. We use our brains to remember, learn and think.
