Societal order beyond a "pack" is unique to humans.
What about ants? and bees?

If your point of view includes the matter of our success as a species in varying environments and in competition with other species, then we are indeed superior.
Actually, wouldnt bacteria then be the superior species on earth? They can survive in climats that humans can only dream of.

But still I can not understand why scientists still are allowed to produce and alter a virus as dangerous as smallpox
They arn't. There were at one point only supposed to be two samples left in the world. Becides, I think that the fact that the US was ready to bomb Iraq over it shows that its generally not looked favorably on.

The thing I dont understand is why there havent been millions of smallpox vacines produced in this now over year old terrorism scare. Its not that hard to do really.
