exhaustion/emptying...and renewal
Not so "funny," I think, but eminently logical: we see, we discriminate what we are seeing, we label it, "fix" it...and so the slide: from "special" to "species" to "not special" a'tall! A couple of years ago, when Wil Franklin and I were co-teaching a summer institute about "change over time," we did this lovely --and revelatory-- exercise in which the students sorted multiple images into "species" (and so realized both the constructedness and the revisability of our category-making). Following on that, we searched for homologies of ourselves in the skeletons of other species, and our own: that, too, was revelatory: all the echoes and --as you say-- all the differences.
