failed anthropologist here
three distinctions between humans and non-human primates:
1. the production and use of speech and text, that is to say, the human capacity for lexically and grammatically complex language
2. the use of tools to make tools: other primates use tools, but as of yet are not routinely documented to create one tool with the intention of using it to create another, which represents higher order thinking
3. culture - continued in next post
