What really sets us apart from our cousins? Self-awareness?
Nope, apes can do this, too.
This video illustrates that our ape cousins also exhibit self-awareness, by recognizing that the reflected image in a mirror actually represents themselves.
An amazing bit of footage from the National Geographic documentary "Human Ape".
Animals that can pass the mirror test:
Humans
All of the great apes
Bottlenose dolphins
Orcas
Elephants
European Magpies

@thegriffin88 Very true. And add whales to this list of amazing, sentient animals.

Lol loved the video but this is offensive how do they dare to compare the great chimps with those disgusting humans.

Fun fact: Dolphins and Elephants also are self-aware.
