No one doubts human beings are special—indeed unique. After all, people are (to our knowledge) the only ones pondering evolution, not to mention creating symphonies and skyscrapers. Still, that is not saying much: All species are unique, or else they would not be distinct species in their own right. Each species can do things humans only dream of, whether flying or diving deep under the sea.

~ Alexander Werth from, The Problems of Evolution as a “March of Progress”

Anthropocentrism is one perspective. There are many others worth considering too because the more one learns, the better one is able to make moral choices.
