Posits that the relationship between humans and other animals played a key role in establishing key traits of our species: "tool making, symbolic behavior and language, and the domestication of plants and animals."

Reports on spindle neurons (also known as "von Economo neurons") in humpback whale, thereby showing that this cell type is not unique to great apes.
One of several papers claiming (without a comparative study) that von Economo neurons are unique to humans and great apes. However, studies in cetaceans and elephants have found this kind of neurons, too.
Provides comparative histological data on the glia-neuron ratios in prefrontal area 9L of the neocortex in 18 anthropoid primate species and on the allometric scaling of this ratio with brain size, concluding that the value in humans is well within the range allometrically expected for an anthropoid primate with our brain size.

Posits that spindle neurons (also known as "von Economo neurons") may be unique to great apes.
Based on large compilations of previously published cross-species data on brain weight (or skull volume for odontocetes) and body weight, the article concludes "that the encephalization level of Homo sapiens is still extraordinary relative to that of nonhuman species. Nevertheless, a subset of delphinid odontocetes are significantly more highly encephalized than the most highly encephalized anthropoid primates and narrow the gap in encephalization between humans and nonhumans substantially. These findings may have implications for comparative models of the relative importance of brain size versus brain organization for the evolution of intelligence."
