  1. as a child, i always thought animals were aware. Then I got introduced to philosophy, and the ideas that maybe they aren't, but more and more modern science is proving my childhood instincts are correct.

  2. Animal exeriments and ethic are we aware enough to not be crual and evil? The crab shock experiment was unethical! To all crabs and other living being we humans are sorry 🙏🧘🏻‍♂️♥️

  3. Homosapiens have existed for over 200,000 years, and tools even longer. You're trying to say the first tools are 40,000 years old? First line in the video is already not credible

  4. Just the human senses alone to comprehend the macro to the micro is quite a mind blowing idea.
    We are all very lucky to be where we are today shame not too many people know this..

  5. I have a question in mind…

    Hypothetically speaking, if WE were to SWAP “New Born” modern Homo Sapiens with an Ancient “New Born” Homo Sapiens here in our Modern Era and to the Ancient Era.

    what could possibly happen to both New Born Homo Sapiens? will the Ancient Homo Sapiens be able to adapt with our human advancements? so on so forth and vise versa.

  6. i belive consciousnes exist in all multicellular life to a wide variety of degres dependin on the complexity and diffrent factors
    but all tough thru diffrent senses and diffrent so called brain patterns that effect how consciousnes is precived for the being so say for example a bee maybe feels happy but doesnt really know why or how
    in the same way we humans do

    i just want to say english is not my first language sorry for my bad english

  7. The more we find, the larger the number of odds we exist adding less chances of humanoids on other planets in this galaxy, the Fermi Paradox.
    I think this just gives more purpose of creation for us to be here, rather than just some big accident…maybe a higher type of consciousness is needed to experience this universe fully?
