Well, let’s say we’re unique, because humans are the only species that
cook their food 
But more serious, the question “what is a human ?”
is first of all a question of philosophical antropology. Heidegger is quite
clear that his investigation doesn’t concern antropology, psychology or
biology [SuZ: 45]. One of the philosophers i like most on matters of
philosophical antropology is the British philosopher Roy Bhaskar. You
might want to look at his _The Possibility of Naturalism_ (1979) and
_Plato Etc._(1994) wherein he develops the notion of the stratification
of the subject, i.e. the human being as a complex of (emergent) powers.
