Do animals have a conscious like we do? Do animals experience pain like we do? Are they aware of how they’re feeling, like we are? All these questions arise because, for a long time, there has been a debate over whether or not animals can think like we humans do and whether or not they have a conscious. Some arguments have been based on the fact that as humans, we have larger brains, and therefor are capable of more cognitive processing and greater understanding (Bickerton, 2000). Others have…

Mirror Neurons: Discussion and Debates The average human brain weighs only three pounds, yet the intricacy surrounding its capabilities are one of the most sought after mysteries, with regard to human anatomy. Dr. V.S. Ramachandran (2010) explains that the brain is the housing for approximately 100 billion neurons all interacting in a phenomenal number of differing connections. In studying how neural processes develop, mirror neurons were identified. Although this is a complex topic which…

Hadden’s novel is centered around the thoughts…

organisms should have a similar, or even identical amino acid sequence. The major link form of the protein encoded by the gene is 715 amino acids long and the protein is identical, with no differences whatsoever in chimpanzee, gorilla and the rhesus monkey. The mouse FOXP2 differs in just one amino acid from these three species. However, human FOXP2 genes differs from that of a gorilla, chimp and rhesus macaque in two further amino acids. So, in 75 million years since the divergence of mouse and…
