By this, I mean:
The urge to lie, be mean etcetera.
I think the general idea is there.
The question is, why do you think that it's a human-only quality, and do you see the fact that we can do these things as being bad or good (I'm not asking if you condone lying or being mean)
Personally, I think that these qualities are what makes humans unique, after all we are the only species capable of doing these things. The qualities aren't exactly admirable, but regardless, I think that it's a good thing that we have them. There are other, positive things that humans can do that many (though perhaps not all) species can not, for example, we are pioneers for a lot of things, including technology and science. (as a topic, you can call reproduction science, and I'm fairly sure other species were reproducing before we existed) I don't see many other animals walking around with iPods? :hugesmile:
