If you mean sensitivity, empathy, ethics as a strong manifestation of our inner instincts, then on the one hand, humans are more developed than many primates, but on the other hand, humans as a natural species are an absolute record holder for aggression towards other individuals of their own species. People have developed mutual assistance more than animals, hospitals work, hotlines for solving internal problems, but at the same time there is a completely different side of human nature, far from beautiful and not kind. It is difficult to say what exactly is a manifestation of humanity.

It depends on what is meant by the word “human”.�
“Even a fierce beast is no stranger to pity. I'm an alien. So I'm not a beast.”
“The more you get to know people, the more you like dogs.”
In general, laziness, greed, anger, and envy make a person human. Other qualities are equally inherent in humans and animals.
It depends from whose point of view. On the Christian side , there is a potential opportunity to ask yourself and others ideological questions and an interest in the spiritual sphere.
As a cybernetic system, humans have a unique ability to operate with concepts about objects and their properties, regardless of their own emotions, desires, and needs associated with these properties. Thanks to this ability, he can designate these concepts with arbitrary symbols that make up the whole human language, and create in internal and external speech an idea of any conceivable combination of these objects and their properties, including those that never existed or were impossible in reality.
