      What a question…
      To think, to believe, to aspire to be better. To love and to have empathy for others.

      It’s a deep question.

      I echo Simon. But being flippant, I would add: proteins, sugars, fats, minerals and nucleic acids!

      Isn’t it interesting how my immediate response would have been something along the lines of cardiac output, circulatory blood pressure, adequate brain response…and yet what I think you’re asking is how are humans different to other animals? If it is then I can’t really add much to Simon’s response which is spot on!
