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

In an experiment similar to this, dolphins and apes were tested the same way but some were also marked with water (the dolphins were pricked with a little pin that felt much like the waterproof marker) to see if it was just the touch that made them look but it was not (the ones not marked with a visible marker did not try to touch it/look at it/remove it)
