If we're to rely on facts and facts only, I'll argue its internal decision making is itself clearly determined by several factors, most if not all of them being determined causally.

I'm quite sure this addition erases the mere idea "free(dom)" and "free will", which would somehow escape universal determinism, hence creating a special case in the laws of causality for humanity only.

Edit : changed phrasing because I answered after reading your first paragraph. Then I read the second one.

At no point did I say that humanity is exempt.

I guess you could say I'm a compatabilist.

By pushing the idea that the humain brain is capable of "free" decision making to adapt to its environment without being forced by external factors it seemed to me that it implied an exception, or, otherwise, you'd be forced to extend that hypothesis to all living beings, and causality would surely take offense ?

I'm answering, but I see what you mean, and I generally agree with it. I just tend to think the idea of free orientation/action is both dangerous and the reason of a lot of human suffering. I'm also a compatabilist, but I another way I suppose.

I believe that all living things that are capable of making decisions possess free will
