"But saying that there are no fundamental differences seems wrong too." i don't think thats what they're saying, though i see how it could be interpreted as that. i think what they're saying is that on a basic level we (animals/mamals?) are very similar. ofc there are big differences between species but the building blocks all come from the same place. also yes we're the only ones to do all that stuff but it doesn't deny the difference between animals, it compares the output of a species abilities (for lack of a better word), our ability just happens to be a really powerful one and one that compounds really quickly.
