No single, difference separates human beings from other animals. For example, like humans, apes have well formed thinking. Their ways to start an argument, stay on a train of thought, draw conclusions and make guesses is very similar to how we do it too. Also like humans, apes have a certain language. Their vocabulary is HUGE, their grammar is complex, and their conversations are can get deep just like ours. The apes' ability to identify letters in writing has not been proved yet so were not sure how well they can read compared to humans. There was once an orangutan who argued that apes had evolved from humans, not the other way around. Apes also (again, like humans) have a goal in life. Apes also have a refined sense. They admire beauty and want to surround themselves with it. When an ape cultivates a garden, puts flowers in a vase, or hangs up a painting, what is it doing if not expressing a love of beauty? The sense of humor shared by all apes is another proof of their close resemblance to humans. Their love of a good laugh is plain from the popular ape jokes they tell.
