Out of the hundreds of billions of species that have existed logan
Why only us?
Hm?
Were not the only creatures able to communicate
Communication =/= a language
language refers to human communication
an extremley advanced form
it refers to a method of human communication
The odds of a single human with con existing are 1 in 10 with 2,685,000 0's
humans havent even had advanced language for all of theyre history
Humans are the only ones to have consciousness as far as we can prove
It's up to you to prove they have it, not on me to prove they dont
Ok, les look at cetaceans (whales n' doliphins) real quick
i think sentient is the correct word you're looking for
not conscious
studies have shown they have more complex brains
Sentient is a better term, yea
so claiming humans are natrually the only smart creature with communication is false
Humans are the only ones to have consciousness as far as we can prove
since when have we proffed that
Because we cant prove any other species has Sentience / Consciousness
nono
that humans have it
again i think you mean sentient buny
@L0GAN Their Consciousness does not encompass the knowledge of mortality and death.
imagine using sign language to convince a gorilla that it's gonna die one day
speaking of
@Doctor Anon We cannot be certain of that
ah fuck
onion already did a sketch
damnit onion
Many animals show what can be interpreted as grieving over the dead, but none show what can be seen as understanding that they will die and the concept of it.
elephants are one example
They know death happens, but not what it is and that they will be subject to it as well.
We do not know that animals dont understand death
We do not know they do
Again burden of proof is to prove they do understand it, not on me to to prove they dont
again even if we didn't know that animals don't understand death would still be a safe assumption
how is an elephant grieving over the dead different the na human grieving over the dead
