Is there any difference between humans and animals?

What is the essential difference between humans and animals? There are many answers: labor, language, manufacturing tools, sociality... Logically speaking, since there are essential differences, there shouldn't be so many. So doubts arose; and since the essential difference seems to be unique to humans and not to animals, in fact it does not seem to be the case. Let’s talk about labor first. Can you say that building nests, digging burrows, and foraging and feeding animals are not labor? There is no essential difference between an animal's nest and a human's home. The hive of bees may be extremely brilliant in his world! Let’s talk about language. Language is, after all, a tool for conveying information. In this regard, humans and animals are the same. Humans call their own vocalizations language, which may seem like the same cry to animals; and humans have no way of knowing how rich animal languages ??are. Parrots, mynas, and mynas can imitate human speech. Don’t they have their own language? The tool for conveying information is more than just sound, and "sound" is just the very limited audio that people can hear. There are many ways to convey information beyond this scope: movements, expressions, smells, etc. Animals also far exceed humans in terms of "sound". It is said that earthworms emit ultrasonic waves that humans cannot hear; bats emit infrared rays; deep-sea fish emit colorful electric lights... and there are many more that we cannot yet detect, such as infrasound waves and so on. It seems that the way animals convey information is indeed much richer than that of humans. Aren't they "language"? Someone said, people can write? That's just the written form of language. Similarly, animals also have more and richer language forms that humans don't know. When it comes to making tools, it seems to be unique to people. But not long ago I saw a report on scientific research results, saying that gorillas can also make simple tools, such as polishing stones. It's a pity that I didn't save this report. Let’s talk about sociality. Sociality actually comes from gregariousness. It is also the same thing between humans and animals, and humans are called social. Moreover, the collective nature of some animals is quite advanced. For example, geese stand guard for the collective; ants work collaboratively and so on. The collective nature of animals is called collectivism by humans. Let’s talk about religion again. Religion guides those who are destined to practice. People can cultivate and become Buddhas. But according to folklore, animals can also practice cultivation and have various magical powers and functions. Like "lonely yellow and white willow", "great immortal" and so on. From such an analysis, it seems that there is no essential difference between humans and animals, only high and low. It’s just that people say it differently. Of course this is unacceptable. But the "Evolution Theory" says that humans evolved from animals. Humans are inherently advanced animals. From this point of view, it seems that it is not unfair to divide humans and animals into high and low levels, and there is a theoretical basis for it. I'm not convinced either. Also try to find out the essential difference between humans and animals. For this reason I thought of "morality". He was so smug about it that he thought he had discovered a new world. "Book of Rites" also regards "ritual" as the most fundamental symbol that distinguishes humans from animals. But then I became confused: Is the collectivism of animals such as the geese and ants mentioned earlier what people call fair morality? Also, it is rare to see people nowadays who can sacrifice themselves for others. They treat people in distress as a show, with hundreds of people watching, but it is not uncommon for dogs to sacrifice themselves and die as saviors. What is the explanation for this? It's really hard to kill people. But no matter what, first of all, humans and animals belong to nature; more importantly: humans are the spirit of all things! This cannot be changed.
