Question: Why are we so evolved compared to other animals?

I’m not sure we are any more evolved than other animals – aprat from our conciousness we share pretty much all the other characteristics of other animals. Its our mental ability that sets us apart, and I suspect luck’s got a large part to play in how that developed. Our brains don’t look particularaly special but the way we can use them is.
