Let me paraphrase a sig I saw on this board:
Apparently we're unique, just like every other species.
Our main difference from other species is that we think that the minutiae of human behaviour are really fascinating and super and whizzo, where as other species are so small-minded and wrapped up in the minutiae of their own behaviour that they think they're the ones that are special and different.
Huh! Stupid animals!
