      Hi @oliviabu007
      Great question! I’m afraid I don’t know the specific answer. But whatever led us to be able to speak would be the big breakthrough that separates us from other animals.
      Also, a genetic advance that led us to form societies is another difference between us and other animals.

      What do you think is the biggest difference between humans and other animals?
