Is the human race creation's crowning glory? Biochemical research showed that all living is based on a genetic code and that all living creatures share the citric acid cycle. Nontheless humans always postulated to be unique creatures superior to all animals. But what makes human unique in nature? Might music and language be criterias which differentiate humans from animals?

1) Genetic and physiologic comparisons - timescale of evolution - differences between modern humans and apes - Brain size - Bipedalism - Genetic ideas concerning evolution - Speed of mutations - Evolution of traits
