LEARN1
The reason why humans are so much more advanced than animals is because they share ideas and acc**ulate knowledge over the years. Now it becomes easier and easier to do both, so the rate of advancement of the human race increases very rapidly. That is why if you want to help the advancement you must learn everything there is to know about the specific context and if somebody already invented it, you don’t have to.

Our technology concerning stored knowledge has brought us a LONG way as a species, I definitely agree. However, I must interject: I believe that there are other animals out there that share knowledge with each other like we do, especially other primates. Chimpanzees, for example, share tools and techniques on how to use them.
In any case, I think you've got a big point about learning, and I can't wait to hear more from you. +1 KS

Sorry for being unclear - what differentiates humans from animals is ability to store knowledge. Animals store knowledge genetically. For example, you can see ants and bees working in unison as a group, birds building their nests, etc. Humans, on the other hand, have stone etchings, scrolls, books, and then all other kinds of media.
Very recently it became possible to communicate over large distances seamlessly. This blog is an example. Of course, animals can share information with those nearby, but humans can make it available worldwide. A good example would be a recent project by Microsoft called Seadragon. A nice lecture about it can be found here: http://www.ted.com/talks/gary_flake_is_pivot_a_turning_point_for_we...
In general, www.ted.com is a really awesome website.
