Imagine not being able to let out a cry when you need to, or not being able to appreciate the warmth of the sun. Humans have complex brains and they can express emotions and morality in a way that different species can’t even grasp. What makes up a human is much more than what they look like, it is their brains, emotions, and moral characters.
Logically, what makes up a person is their brain and mental abilities. Some may believe that alternative organisms also have a brain, so what makes up person can’t be something that separate species have as well. Although the point brought up is relevant, the human brain is completely different than any dissimilar organism in the world. To put into factual terms, @scienceabc states, ¨Human beings are capable of self-analysis, mental time travel, imagination, abstract reasoning, cultural establishment, and morality. These higher level skills separate us from the beasts, and form the basis of our global culture as a species.¨ The way the human brain works is extremely complex and can act in ways that animals wouldn't even be able to imagine. For example, a person has an area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, which separate species do not have. This area of the human brain allows them to have advanced cognitive skills such as social intelligence, and planning and reasoning. Contrasting organisms use …show more content…

Now, take a look at your bucket list, and make sure that “do something that will make a difference” is on it. After all, you are human. Humans are unique and complex, and no other species can compete with what humans are capable
