Empathy/love/caring are all displayed in animals. I'd say our ability to perceive reality makes us distinctly human. As far as we know, animals don't ponder the universe or their own mortality. Humans do.

I agree with the first statement. "Ability to perceive reality" is a bit of a stretch tho. Every creature has a perception of reality, and it can vary among humans too. Existentialism on the other hand is a good one, ie exploring the nature of existence.

But not every human experiences this in life necessarily. So I am not sure if I would say this is fundamental.
