Humans have the ability for rational thought.
Explanation: the forebrain (especially the cerebral cortex and prefrontal areas) supports higher cognitive functions — abstract reasoning, planning, problem solving and language — which are far more developed in humans than in other primates and account for the enlarged forebrain (and associated midbrain functions for sensory integration and motor coordination).
