Are they? Some primates have better working memory than we do, for example. Of course we would never confuse another species for a human, but I also think we would not confuse a domestic house cat for anything else despite them coming in many shapes, sizes and colors, so I assume you mean something more profound than just that we look visually different.

Yes, this is what I mean. There is seemingly no organism/species that I would confuse whether to classify it as human or not human but I'm pretty sure there are species/organism albeit is rare that I would be in hard time categorizing it as cat or not cat.
Another example is human male and human female, albeit is rare but there is some human population that I would have a hard time deciding which category to put.

It is highly likely that there once were intermediate species. When examined in sufficient detail, the line between ancestor and descendant species blurs.
