Whales mourn. Dolphins play. Orcas have dialects. Parrots can ask existential questions. Rats giggle and tickle each other. Birds give their children names. Fish create art. Do we honestly still believe we are the only ones on planet Earth to feel our complex emotions, think deeply, and have fully conscious and aware lives? What does a survey of the current knowledge of the animal kingdom tell us about ourselves and the human attributes we find so valuable.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how other animals have many of our abilities and traits, how some animals far surpass our abilities, and the one attribute that actually unites the animal kingdom. You will see how our human perspective on ‘thought’ is just one interpretation, and you may be humbled to learn that animals have superpowers of mind and body that we could only dream of. By peering into the souls of these beautiful creatures, and comparing them with our own, you’ll gain a better understanding of what it actually means to think, communicate, and most importantly, what it means to feel. It turns out that it is not a language, nor how we think, but perhaps emotion, that is the beautiful commonality that binds the animal kingdom together.
