Have they found an "animal" capable of complex maths and philosophy yet? I submit the difference isn't a whole category like tool usage, but the complexity of it.

A lot of species can do various things better, qualitative superiority just doesn't cut it. We wanted a clear line that would prove we're not animals.

Well that's never going to happen because we are animals.
