They simply *respond* to it
^ das true
Love, even in humans, is fabricated from the point of view of sex
Attachment is instinctual
Love is not
Love is something we made to give meaning to the attachment
Mourning is not instinctual
I would argue that Elephants, and Some primates and Cetaceans are also capable of sentiency
I *heavily* disagree
They are capable of basic consciousness, i submit that
But sentience on the level of Humans? No.
Studies have shown Cetaceans may be capable of more intellegence then humans
Based off the fact they have more complex and larger brains
Wow
You really dont know biology if you claim thay
Complex Brains are not linked to intelligence
Brain size is wholly detached from intelligence
"Are Whales Smarter Than We Are? Cetacean brains, such as those of dolphins (left) and humpback whales (right), have even more cortical convolutions and surface area than human brains do."
By that logic Sperm Whales are the most intelligent form of life
They have the largest brains
Sperm whales have the largest brain... *not what I said*
Read any study, for the love of god, brain area does not correlate with intelligence
"Are Whales Smarter Than We Are? Cetacean brains, such as those of dolphins (left) and humpback whales (right), have even more cortical convolutions and surface area than human brains do."
it makes no sense that sperm whales would develop an intelligent brain
like at best they would be on par with dolphins but developing an incredibly complex brain like humans would just be a waste
Doliphins are capable of emotion, and communication
And it is indeed proven that the human brain alone is the most complex *thing* in the *universe*.
I seriously doubt that
i'd disagree with you there
because you cant compare a brain to a star
Complexity is subjective
it's just like comparing apples to rocks
Complexity is how humans look at it
Im arguing there is no animals as or more intelligent as humans @L0GAN
I can agree with that
But
I dont care about intelligence relative to humans, i care about intelligence on par with humans
animals are capable of being sentient and intellegent in ways similar to humans
to what degree?
Highest of a human toddler or a young child
