Humans differ from animals in that humans have free will and choice
In the bible, in the story of Cain and Abel, Cain was a farmer and Abel was a herder of animals. When Cain kills Abel, farming supersedes migratory herding. In the story, this event is not treated as a thing to celebrate, since God banishes Cain. Cain's ego-centric choice; farming, messed up instinct and the inner self. But Cain is protected and the ego continues.
