you point out another speices that has invented somthing
and ill say we are not special.
Monkeys using sticks to get ants out of holes is no different that man Building a sky scraper. Both are simply animals using tools to the best of their physical and mental ability.
We're just the smartest animals in our little corner of the universe (for now), nothing more.
invention = idea put to use
idea = something that could be developed into an invention
a monkey with a stick isn't an invention, its an idea had by the stupid little monkey, the skyscraper......good example of an invention, and a good example of a bad iea
