Humans can spread ideas massively better than other species. Our phenotype is distinct among extant species. Just like plants are distinct from animals. I say that as a matter of fact rather that trying to suggest any particular moral implications of that. Our distinctness does not automatically mean we are special. And our lack of genetic specialness does mean that humans are worthless.
I absolutely agree that understanding life is amazing and even essential to our future. That in itself is an idea that couldn't possibly have existed without the distinctive ability to communicate I mentioned above.
