I've previously thought about the idea that Humans are the first species with software, instead of just hardware. When a bug exists in a chip, you have to wait for the next generation to have it fixed. But a programmer can fix a bug or add functionality to the same physical machine; this is why software exists in the first place. The decision-making of other animals may develop generationally, but it has very limited capacity for change within a single organism's life. On the other hand, a human can endlessly rewrite her software on top of the same hardware. We can evolve without waiting for our DNA to change.
