A: 1) Where we do differ from other life forms is in our ability to record and learn from our collective history.
2) Where we fully (or: definitely/absolutely)differ from other life forms is in our ability to record and learn from our collective history.
B: 1) The more we learn, the better our chances of survival in the future widen.
2) The more we learn, the better are our chances of survival in the future.
