Except of course for the fact that many other creatures do have the ability to reason and this has been known and well documented for going 40 + years

While humans do have more ability to reason in greater complexity , the ability to reason is not unique to humans . And it appears at times many do not utilize that ability to it's potential. Which was the point of Quote

Like all other species, we are driven by the same two or three basic instincts.
Our mutations drive us to make things to control our environment and to increase our chances of ....back to basic instincts.

No, we are no better than any other species, and probably, less civilised than many.
We eat other species. May not make us better but it definitely puts us higher on the old food chain. And, I never expressed remorse when I cut the grass.

Reasoning is just the function of a brain. All but Man devote the majority of their reasoning towards getting food or getting laid. Ours is applied in more abstract ways, like which bridge pains are better.

Didn't say there isn't a difference in the level of functioning , said the function was not unique to humans
