Can a chimp be a "person"?

Are humans really that advanced?

We all have biological impulses. We kill and murder out of rage, emotion, jealousy, territory.

Humans frequently follow others in a pack mentality, when independent thought and reason is turned off.

We frequently live in fear, we follow leaders, we react instead of evaluate. (Which is sometimes unavoidable, because our life is at stake -- a survival instinct shared by every other creature on the planet.

Something big enough stomps on us, like a meteor, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Really, how intelligent are we?

If we were truly intelligent we would take responsibility for this entire planet and take care of everything on it -- instead of a "me, me, me" mentality ... which seems strangely animalistic.
