If not all then how can we as a race be special? I&#x27;d say that if we lump going to the moon onto our collective accolades, so do we lump the Holocaust and various other genocides.<p>My personal opinion, but it seems like there&#x27;s a desire to overstate our differences with &quot;other animals.&quot; Which generally seems like a prelude to exterminating them without feeling bad about it &#x2F; trashing the environment &#x2F; generally believing in our manifest destiny and right to same as humans. But that&#x27;s my personal opinion.
