We are told that human beings are something like 99% genetically identical to all
other animals.
From this everyone jumps to the

But there is another
way to interpret "the science".
If the genetic difference between a
human being and all other animals is so infinitesimally small, and yet to plain observation the differences are in fact enormous, then the common sense answer has to be; what makes us human is
obviously not our genetics.

Very good! Also, when the human genome project reported, its major finding - hardly commented on - was how *few* genes there were - about 24K (most of which are simply coding for the structural aspects) - apparently far too few to make such complexity...
