Srila Prabhupada.
Extra quality with human beings is the dharma or his duty to inquire about the absolute truth or God. The dharma of every human being is to understand what he is, who God is, the relationship between him and God,and to engage in rendering loving service to God.
Therefore a human being is superior than animals only when they inquire about the Absolute truth,otherwise they are considered just like animals.
