There is no argument presented; no research cited; nothing new. Human exceptionalism has a long history (old testament and older), and has been treated in many different places.
Douglas Adam's famously wrote that humans and dolphins each think they are the most intelligent beings on earth -- humans think they are more intelligent because the invented the wheel, cities, wars, etc. whereas dolphins just play in the water all day. Dolphins think they are more intelligent for precisely the same reasons.
If anyone wants to discuss why precisely humans are more than monkeys-with-astonishingly-complicated sticks, be my guest, but please bring more than this simplistic post.
