Description: Carefully constructed visual sequences comparing people with other animals permit the audience to discover for themselves that we are indeed a species of life. Yet humans have certain physical attributes that separate them from all other species, a bipedal stance; opposing thumbs; stereoscopic color vision; and a larger, more complex brain. These physical attributes allow us infinitely greater freedom than other species to explore, manipulate and interact with our environment. Humans can fashion tools that give them the wings of the eagle, the strength of the elephant and the eyes of the hawk. Even more important, our physical attributes have provided us with the greatest advantage of all--language., Explains how humans differ from animals.
