I said "match" But do you think Dolphin have a conscience of their existence as we have ? do you think dolphin have a conscience of the world we are living ? do you think Dolhin will EVER ask themselve the question : do you think we are more intelligent than human ?"" I think this is what make us so different of the others species : conscience of our self |
Actually, dolphins are one of three groups that are self-aware. Man, apes, and dolphins.
There were actually a lot of really interesting studies done to determine self-awareness in animals. Try Googling them, it's definitely worth a read.
edit: Wow, just did a little more research. Recent evidence has shown that elephants may be self-aware on some primitive level, too. Interesting.
