"There must be something about the human brain that’s different from the brains
of other animals — something that enables humans to plan, imagine the future,
solve crossword puzzles, tell sarcastic jokes and do the many other things that
together make our species unique. And something that explains why humans get
devastating conditions that other animals don’t — such as bipolar disorder and
schizophrenia.

So, what is that something?"

The interactive article is interesting, but I don’t find the introduction above
convincing. Are we sure that there are no other animals that can plan, imagine
the future or tell sarcastic jokes?

Cheers,
