Some animals realize they're looking at themselves. I saw a documentary that in which a young chimpanzee starts to suspect that he's looking at his image, and then tests his theory by getting into contrived positions and viewing the result, very much like human young.


Je ne suis pas sûr à 100 %, mais je crois qu'en effet les (certains ?) primates peuvent se reconnaître à travers leur image dans le miroir. But animal language (whatever that is), self-consciousness etc are a huge topic.

Oui, c'est aussi ce que j'ai vu dans des documentaires. Il semble que certains grands singes - dont nous faisons partie - ont une conscience d'eux mêmes.

Celà dit, je ne pense pas que les chimpanzés se posent autant de questions existentielles que nous...
