Fabric of Humanity

What is it that defines us or qualifies us above the level of animals? There are creatures that work in large social groups, have intelligence (deployed in ways other than via technology) and that have survived so much longer than us.

Also, why do people find it strange to find so many variations in thought, ideas, personality and conscious intent? Surely, this is mutation and evolution through nature affecting the brain. There is no normal average person because everyone's viewpoint is different.

Time functions differently and when AI reaches a high enough level then maybe we will learn whether consciousness is unique or natural. Also, what happens when humans are cloned, teleported or brought up from birth in sensory deprived / artificial environments?
