>Only humans treat the dead with the same respect, consideration and even tenderness they treat the living. Even when we die, we continue to be someone for our group,"

Is this true? Elephants walk very far, as a group, to mourn years later the loss of a member from their family, by returning to where it died. Why would we think humans are so special in this regard?
