self

[sage]

the concept of self is found only on humans, primates and some dolphins. how has it risen. is it through evolution? if so how? how suffisticated is the concept in primates? inputs welcome.

And how do we know the concept of self does not exist in “lower” organisms?

Many men know everything that you suspect to be true but are unsure of. I caught one myself the last time I looked for my glass. It was empty and I was angry. I decided to sell one of my old stockings to replace the contents but it was too late. My soul was broken and I cried enough to fill half of a teaspoon.

Really? Where did they find it? Behind the ears?
