[QUOTE="Rosco..Jones, post: 51108, member: 2729"] Koko the gorilla has more than 1,000 signs. She watches TV and does not watch the sad parts. Then she explains why. She has also learned to lie. [url]http://www.koko.org/world/kokoflix.php?date=2011-06-18[/url] Learning to communicate with people has to involve some sort of consciousness. There are different types of consciousness. Take the dolphins. They talk to each other, work together to catch fish in a more efficient way, assist humans in trouble etc. Even octopus' can figure out how to solve problems and learn by watching others. On the Savant comment. Having a Savant wound mean that others are not so skillful. I just can't visualize having a genius and all others being complete idiots. Statistically, that would be an unacceptable distribution. So, between the genius and the complete idiot, we would have a range of skill levels. This would form a standard distribution Bell curve. However, the average could be very low and our Savants out at the extreme low probability portion of the curve. But, I do still feel that animals are conscious, but at different levels and suited to there needs. [/QUOTE]
