Answer
We differ from our nearest relatives and other animals in:
  • our opposable thumbs that allow us to carry things and handle delicate tasks
  • Our upright posture, which frees up our hands and also allows us to walk long distances.
  • Our brain which is larger relative to our body size than that of any other animal.
  • our pharynx, which allows us to make the complex sounds needed for sophisticated speech. The disadvantage of this is that we (as adults) can not breathe and drink at the same time.
