I'll add self-awareness, which I believe is the primary characteristic that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. I think to some degree it can be awakened in animals we live with.
If you're observant you'll see that there are humans who have very little self-awareness, and there are those that have highly developed self-awareness.
