Humans can manipulate their environment, and adapt to many different conditions, far more than an amoeba.

This in no way applies worth. Furthermore, we manipulate our environment to the detriment of ourselves and everything else on this planet(global warming). This is an argument for a human having less worth than an amoeba.

Also a human has many more cells than an amoeba. Further, a human has a greater lifespan than an amoeba.
