Are animals self aware? What kind of existence are humans like to animals?

I thought there was. It's a ghost-like being, because animals are afraid of humans, and they think that humans will destroy them.

Of course there is. One of the most representative is the monkey. Humans are the dog's friends, and dogs are very friendly to humans. But for wildlife, humans are a threat to them.

There should be, for example, animals are born with the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. For most animals, humans are their competitors and even natural predators.

Animals are self-aware, which refers to the cognition, experience, and desire of animals to be in a state of well-being. Many animals are self-aware, but humans have not yet mastered the language of all animals and cannot communicate with them, and animal self-awareness is not very obvious. Animal self-consciousness plays an important role in the evolutionary process of the animal kingdom and is an evolutionary manifestation.

Animal self-consciousness includes the self-consciousness of the subject self and the self-consciousness of the object self. The self-consciousness of the subject: self-awareness is to know oneself and to make adjustments and control over one's own body. The self-consciousness of the object is to know myself as an object, to know myself in the eyes of others.

For example, many animals self-destruct and pollinate to suppress the consciousness of their own body and its state, the consciousness of their own limb activity state, and the consciousness of their own thinking, emotion, will and other mental activities. The most classic experiment in psychology on self-consciousness was carried out on the infants of the book, and it was found that 15-24-month-old babies would look at their bodies in the mirror and touch their noses in the mirror, showing a manifestation of self-awareness and self-knowledge. A similar experiment was done with chimpanzees, and it turned out that chimpanzees also knew how to erase the red spots from their noses, and in this sense, chimpanzees have a certain self-awareness of the object.

Experts have estimated that there are tens of millions of species of animals and plants on the planet. In that case, among the many living populations here, are humans the only creatures on earth with independent consciousness? Will insects, fish, spiders, monkeys, etc., also have their own independent consciousness?

This situation may seem difficult to respond to, because even though your idea seems to be the most obvious object in the world, it can be the most difficult to explore. There is no established definition of the matter, only a well-known conundrum previously posed by the thinker Thomas Nagel: What does it feel like to be a bat?

Netina chose spiders because they live very different lives from our daily lives. People try to imagine what it's like to fall asleep upside down or use the radar navigation bar around the world, but does it have any consciousness?

Worse is the "difficulty" of consciousness: how does subjectivity arise from objective brain processes? Physics: How do nerve cells use each of their electro-organic chemistry to create sensory nerves, experience the brilliant bright red of a sunset, or the smell of wine?

It's a dualistic question: Why does the mind arise from chemicals?

The answer to this question divides conceptual scientists into two camps. On the one hand, there is the "B elite team", like thinker Daniel CThat's what Dennett often describes in a heated argument.

The members of this group are convinced of the probability of a "zombie" of thinkers, an imaginary microorganism that is no different from you and me, but without ideas. The belief in zombies means that it is possible for other creatures to see, hear, eat, and breed "in the dark" without a little subjective awareness.

Do people have a unique consciousness because of the size of their brains? American pharmacist Susan Greenfield made it clear that in all animal kingdoms, ideas also increase with the size of the brain. But if she's right, then African elephants and timberwolves are more conscious than humans, and it obviously doesn't make sense.

Experts believe that brain organization and function are indicators of consciousness, which may be more relevant than simply comparing head size. The vast majority of mammals and most other organisms—including many fish species, vertebrates, and some insects—alternate between clarity and sleep, or at least have a strongly active and autonomic nervous system. Specific brain regions, such as the lower spinal cord of mammals, control this.

Therefore, in a sober sense, most small animals are fully conscious.

However, this basic theory of the human brain represents that small animals without brains, such as conch, eel, and octopus, have no idea at all. At the same time, it also means that these people have no idea of the creatures whose brains are not properly structured, including fish, squid, and many other creatures. But a large body of behavioral psychological evidence suggests that this creature is conscious.

Because some animals have intelligence close to that of human children, I feel that humans are not the only conscious animals on Earth, there are other animals that are conscious.

In philosophy, consciousness is unique to man, and only man has consciousness, so any kind of animal has no consciousness.

I don't think so, other animals are also very spiritual, such as monkeys, etc.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is consciousness, so when did human consciousness come into being? I believe that as soon as people are born, they have the subconscious (which can be called instinct) carried in their genes, and the active consciousness is like a blank sheet of paper at this time, but as people grow up and reflect the objective world, various active consciousness will be formed, and a higher level of activity consciousness will be formed. However, the environment in which each person lives is different, and the degree of development and development of the brain is different, which will reflect a variety of personalities and personalities.

If people receive the same information, then there will be something common in the consciousness they form (which is the basis for people to be able to communicate with each other). Therefore, human consciousness consists of two parts: subconscious and active consciousness, the subconscious is innate, and the active consciousness is formed by the reflection of the objective world, which also includes education.

Consciousness is the most basic difference between human brain function and animal brain function. In a lucid state, we know what we are watching, listening, thinking, and doing. It is only to what kind of state I am in now, whether I am thirsty, hungry, not thirsty, not hungry, comfortable, happy, and can control my actions to do something.

This is all the physiological self, from the physiological self to the social self, and from the social self to the psychological self. In the end, the self-conscious 'me' is formed. Only then do we get rid of our dependence on others, show our own initiative and independence, and value our self-worth and ideals.

It has the traits of self-esteem and self-confidence.

The emergence of surplus value and the existence of vested interests will naturally form power, profit and power. The struggle for power, profit, and power is accompanied by the behavior of the community of interests, so that there will be the so-called us, ours, and mine. Therefore, the self in human self-consciousness actually contains "power" to a large extent, which is naturally formed.

Consciousness is the support or recognition of the heart to the understanding, no matter how good the understanding is, it is difficult to reach the height of the soul, the heart needs to be promoted, and the recognition or recognition of the difficulty of understanding is the consciousness of a while and a half.

Human consciousness arises at the moment of birth of a newborn baby. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans are conscious of their activities.

The biggest difference between humans and other animals is consciousness. Consciousness is a function unique to human beings, and human beings have studied the problem of consciousness for thousands of years.

Mirror experiments in human infants were carried out around 18 months of life, so it is assumed that self-consciousness does not develop until about 18 months of age.
