> We humans have this weird concept, that there's "something", that makes us fundamentally different from the rest of the animal life on this planet. Yes, we've got the largest impact on the biosphere, we can reason about it. But if you were to track back on the coginitive abilities of our evolutionary ancestors, I'd say it would be very difficult to put a hard threshold in the phylogenetic tree, where suddenly a whole subset of means of communication discretly vanishes.
Agreed, there is no hard threshold (biology seems to avoid those anyways) but subjectively there is some sum of fuzzy attributes in humans which allows for us to achieve the highest complexity of lifestyle(?) of all lifeforms on the planet.
