Other animals are alive and conscious, but I'm pretty sure they don't have a sense of self.

- dwd 8y agoI think we will find that applying human tests for sense of self can't be applied to other animals. Our primary test is visually based such as a mirror/marker test which doesn't work for animals that have relatively poor eyesight (dogs) or avoid eye contact (gorillas) or just don't fit our concepts of how self awareness should manifest.
