Are there other differences between humans and the rest of living creatures, besides lineage and learning by the pen, that the Holy Quran mentioned?

Among the distinctions between humans and other creatures is God's honoring them by entrusting them with the Amanah (trust), and guiding them to benefit from the advantages of this world and the hereafter. And whoever God guides, so they believe and do righteous deeds and die upon that, will have a good life in this world and bliss in the hereafter. This also includes guiding humans to invest in the earth, extract its treasures, cultivate it, and trade in it, as confirmed by the Almighty's saying: "And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided them with good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference."
