So what is the defining characteristic of the human species? Usually creativity and the ability to adapt. Take a read for more examples in fiction.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansAreSpecial As ICame2Play said, creativity and the ability to adept. The Doctor (Doctor Who), says they have a spark that some species lack (like the Gallifryians, aka Time Lords) that enables then to think outside the box more than smarter species. Another special characteristic of humans according the to The Doctor is humans belief in hope and love. Humans never lose stop hope nor love and do things because of love and hope that may, and can, change the world or overcome whatever problems they have.
