There are a lot of things that people say separate the men from the beasts: intelligence, languages, tools, blah, blah... personally though, I think it's clothes. I mean think about clothes, they are such a weird phenomenon. Humans are the only creatures that I can think of that completely reformat organisms and synthetic materials in order to create second skins in order to go pretty much any unihabitable place in the world. I mean, other animals do stuff like it, but... humans are out of control. I mean we have clothes up the wazoo! We have warming clothes and cooling clothes and haz mat clothes and pretty clothes and ugly clothes. Not only that, but we are rarely ever seen without our clothes. There are tons of naked creatures, but I don't know very many of them that change into two layers of plant matter after just waking up in the morning. Admittedly, it is a choice, but there are a lot of choices that animals make every year that is ascribed to them as a species and seeing as the matter is so prevasive, I think there has to be something there.

Yup, the thing that separates the humans from the rest of the animals: clothes.

Only two layers? Ha!
