Humans can reason abstractly about things that are not present in the physical world.
Humans have a sense of morality and can distinguish between right and wrong.
Animals do not have these abilities.
Premise 1: Materialists believe that the human mind is nothing more than a product of the physical brain.
Premise 2: The human mind has unique and complex cognitive abilities, such as language, abstract reasoning, and a sense of morality.
Premise 3: Animals do not have these abilities.
Premise 4: The unique and complex cognitive abilities of humans cannot be explained by materialism alone.
Conclusion: Materialism is an inadequate explanation of the human mind.
Premise 1: Humans are different from animals in kind, not just in degree.
Premise 2: Materialism cannot account for the qualitative differences between humans and animals..
Premise 3: For example, humans have the ability to reason abstractly, to create art and music, and to experience moral emotions..
Premise 4: Animals do not have these abilities..
Conclusion: Materialism is an inadequate explanation of the human mind..
I therefore submit that the entire "hook" for this article - a pointless argument about whether humans are 99% or 84% similar to chimpanzees - is a distraction and a diversion, and should be tabled forthwith.
Because, apparently, that last ONE PERCENT (or whatever the genetic difference is) is ENOUGH.
Now, to your posting:
Humans can use language to communicate complex ideas and concepts. Humans can reason abstractly about things that are not present in the physical world. Humans have a sense of morality and can distinguish between right and wrong. Animals do not have these abilities.
The part I marked in RED and HIGHLIGHTED is an example of circulus in probando, or circular reasoning. That's because, by using the word "morality," you have already posited that human beings possess some "spiritual" characteristic; you might have well as argued that, since humans have a "soul," materialism is an inadequate explanation.
Also: Any use of the word "morality" instantly violates the limitations of the domain of the discussion. Physical science and Theology are two separate domains.

Meanwhile, a Liberal is one who has the ability to reason that,
human life is only sacred once outside the female body, and to be exterminated if it would result in a burden, and or would interfere with career, education, etc. or possibly present a psychological danger to the women;
men can give birth, and chest feed;
gender is fluid (thus "they babies") once born, the product of the womb is to be treated as gender dysphoric, thus giving the parent, teacher etc. a sense of god-like power;
transitioning should not be delayed, and is to be paid for at tax payer expense;
homosexual relations are healthy and to be promoted;
all who deny that are to be maligned with disparaging labels, imputed guilt, and penalized, punished with economic sanctions, and worse;
that while smokers are to be warned, shamed, and penalized, those who practice sodomy are to be encouraged, and with a means of protection from and or treatment for HIV other resultant diseases paid for at tax payer expense. Likewise for all fornication in general;
all white persons are racists. and in denial if they claim otherwise (unless a member of the Left protected class);
black persons who deny that are not really black;
that race and ethnicity are to be determining factors in hiring and enrollment, over that of ability, character and compatibility;
that charges of such Affirmative Action et al being racist are to be denounced as racist, hateful, etc. as part of psychological warfare;
most anything negative can be blamed on anthropogenic Climate Change or racism, or some form of injustice;
the Liberal is to foster both guilt over such and a victim-entitlement mentality in order to obtain power, by presenting themselves as saviors of the oppressed;
that as members of the protected class of the Left, they can possess power, position and prestige without being charged with being selfish, arrogant, proud, lustful seekers of power;
You may want to add to this.
