The distinction between Homo sapian and other animals has changed over the centuries. In the recent past it was widely held that we were the only animal that could reason and had conscious thought. We were never able to completely convince other animals of this however, and after less than stellar performances by several noted biologists in the famous "Checkers" debates in the 50's serious cracks began to develop in this belief. The current hypothesis is that humans are the only animal that will voluntarily sit in front of a television for hours watching reality shows.
