No, I am not saying that "our DNA" is the essential difference between humans and monkeys
I am saying that our soul is the essential difference
Appying human characteristics to animals (like pet owners who think their pets love them as a child would, rather than simply identify with them as a part of a pack for example) is an understandable error, but an error none the less.]
That fact that some elephants investigate some bones they find does not mean that they are capable of feeling sorrow, or in fact capable of anything other than brute animal instincts of - eat, avoid danger, mate, defend territory...
