collect imformation to justify statement human beings are intellugent and different from other animals
Answers
There is more information to justify that statement then I can think of. A whole book could easily be written about that one subject and still would only touch the surface.
I will point out just one thing that I feel can easily get my idea across and not take a lot of time.
The cell phone or computer you are using to ask this question on. I am fifty years old and used to love to collect books, especially old textbooks from second hand stores.
That information I was collecting took up a lot of room. Was difficult to pack up and take with me whenever I moved, and was getting further and further out of date as the days went by.
Now this little rectangular thing I am holding in my hand has access to everything that was in my little collection, if you call several hundred books a little collection. It also is constantly being added to in real time.
I have come to take it for granted but it still blows my mind when I think of how far we have come to be able to have a good proportion of human knowledge at are fingertips in the form of a phone slash camera slash video recorder slash music player. I could think of some more descriptive words but I think you get the picture.
As long as I can charge it up, I have that with me all the time, and if I want to know the time it's the first place I look. If I want to know the time anywhere on earth it's on this little rectangular thing in my hand.
If I get up before the rest of the house and want to quietly communicate with someone it allows me to do that. And this is just one small example of many.
That makes us different than any other species we know of. Their not even at the level of my two year old granddaughter who already knows how to play her favorite nursery rhymes on here by just recognizing a few buttons.

How do we justify the statement that human beings are intelligent, and different from other animals, and present it in the classroom?
What is some information about how human beings are intelligent and different from animals?
What is the difference between our humanity and other beings?
How is human different to other creatures?
Are humans the most intelligent creatures? Or some animals are more intelligent than us? Can any animal surpass our intelligence and overpower us in the future?
There are a lot of things, from resource management to rapid terra-forming (via fossil fuels), but I think the most obvious is that humans are the most prolific large animal on the planet. And it’s not even close. Over 7 billion humans. The only other large animals that come close are ones that we have domesticated and actively breed: cows, pigs, sheep, and dogs are around 1 billion each. The max population of undomesticated large animals number only in the 10s of millions.
Many smaller organisms, like plankton, number in the billions. But creating billions of humans requires tremendous resource management, which speaks to our unparalleled social skills, which in turn requires a high level of intelligence.
