Re: What makes humans different from other species?
Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School
We are a species that is well connected to other species; whether or not we evolve from them, we are certainly very closely related to them. Yet, we have things like spirituality and reason; we have the ability to completely change our environment, to inherit, in a certain sense, things far beyond our DNA as our ideas evolve and undergo a kind of Darwinian selection.
