One thing I feel doesn't get as much hype compared to intelligence is just how versatile our metabolism is. Animals often have very narrow selection of what they can use for food, and adapting to different kind of food source is very difficult. Humans though can feed on almost everything, plants, meat, raw, cooked, carb-, fat-, or protein-heavy - not all of it is equally good for us, but our digestion system will take whatever you throw at it and be fine mostly.
