How do we know animals don't use imagination? I recently watched a doku about snakes that got trapped on a island when the ice receded and water levels rose. The snakes living there today descent from the ones that figured out to eat migratory birds and hibernate for most of the year. With humans we would call it problem solving, creativity, or using your imagination. With animals it's just adaptation, luck, or instinct. From an evolutionary point of view every animal alive today was a winner. How do we know they did not use imagination to make a place for themselves in this world?

And since I don't want to wait for the next doku, I'll just go ahead and expand a bit. For every thing we can do, once we really look, there's an animal, that can do it too or even better. But they are usually good at one or very few things, while we are jacks of all trades. Actually we've taken that to the point, where even specialization can be one of our many talents. So why did we go for multi-talent rather than specialization? Is there something about our brains, giving us more capacity to learn new things? Or could we simply be so fiercely competitive, that we want to constantly find something new to one-up the neighbors? Now, did I write this because I happened to have a little time left before bed, or because I hope to exchange ideas, or because I felt a bit competitive? 😁
I saw once on TV a lion trying to get an antilope stuck in the mud. The lion deliberatily changed positions from one spot to a dryer one to get in his prey. He was successful.
Speechless about the quality, about the cinematics, about the smartness of this documentary! I didn't watch anything like this last 2 years and the best one I have watched is still from DW! "Blue Girl - Football on the Peak", which unfortunately you have deleted from online! Amazing work with documentaries!
@xahba8210 animals are not deliberately cruel or greedy. Or stupid enough to destroy the planet. We spend trillions building nukes when people are starving to death. People kill, rape, torture and abuse eachother and animals. We destroy thousands of species each month due to our greed. Do you not watch the news? Animals do none of those things other than fulfilling their role in the food chain or the odd exception. The planet would be far better off if we had never evolved.
What I think is missing in this analysis is the intersection of how the primate body configuration intersects with intelligence to enable the expression of intelligence. If a crow could hold two sticks or a stick and a stone simultaneously, how much more intelligence would we attribute to them?
Note for humans! We have subdued all animals the way we like. Now, it seems like some of us are trying to subdue or harm each other. Please, stop violence and war in the world. Let's enjoy our newfound power together without harming each other deliberately. Expectant of a peaceful world.
But are we really special? I don't believe we are in any real sense. We're, of course, special as human beings; but only to other humans. I don't think we have got any right to declare ourselves absolutely special, that is to say 'superior', until we've heard what all the other animals have got to say in the matter. It's like man to always place himself in the center of the universe.
I'm really great full to your organization or your legends or pioneers to show me such a beautiful and very informative documentry. Can I use some parts of this as a proof in my research work? Thanks 👍
Fascinating topic, much obliged. How can humanity assist in supporting the evidence that collaboration, all forms of intelligence, and learning for the collective evolution of all species, could eventually assist our peaceful survival on earth? For example yoga was invented by humans - yet through the study of positions which animals adopted. May we understand them better🙏
"Imagination"... What a silly and disappointing answer. Reminds me of those people that say that dogs can't dream, like, how you ever met a dog? Control over fire moved us to the top of the food chain and written language boosts culture expansion and preservation. These are traits that arose however, not inherently human.
What a wonderful breakfast accompaniment! It opens up my mind to a lot of understanding of people around me and reinforces my appreciation of not only of nature but also of scientists and ther terrific work. That the measure of intelligence is not in our ability to express in words what we know but in the doing it is an established fact that can never be over-emphasized. That all creatures need to experience to learn has also been established beyond reasonable doubt with animals born and raised in captivity. That other animals have political and social structures including a justice system just like humans is another equalizer of species. We really are more similar than we are willing to admit.
Saying imagination is the key is frankly ridiculous - most humans did not have the capacity for abstract thought until the last few hundred years, and many still do not. There must be something even more basic that set us apart much earlier.
@@oldmare444 They probably can't even understand any form of rudimentary concept of that cosmic reality, let alone go there (and, unlike the Dinosaurs, maybe, research and develop a way to avoid another mass extinction event). We are all animals; we have a lot in common; we are not more "important", or precious than them... we are all one family in a way....yet, for good and ill, we are truly, truly unique. The day other animals perform something like a developing a civilization, including their own space programs, then, we can really say something like "Nothing distinguishes humans from (these specifics) animals."
We are inherently self destructive while animals on their own are superb ecologists and environmentalists by advancing the health of the environment unlike humans whose activities bring chaos and damage to it.
Once you accept that humans are “smart” only as a survival capability, and we’re no “smarter” than any other animal using their own special survival capabilities, the world makes a lot more sense. Humans have gigantic egos, that may be what makes us remarkable…
But what if we're only imagining that it's imagination that has made us different from other animals? After all, we have a history of showing ourselves well capable of faulty imagination.
It is a combination of intuition and keeping an eye on the birds in front of them. The motion is not instantaneous but is more like the cars of a train that moves in the same direction of the one in front of them. Because of this the first section of the flock smoothly turns and often the later sections make more and more of a turn toward a right angle to give it ballet effect.
You left out opposable thumbs. Means rather more and better tools. Also rather more emphasis on symbols (writing). To combine them, well, before we get there, how do any of these humans know that animals do not imagine? I do not need imagine. Since I walked into the Library of Congress. So much of what we know is/are the gifts from our dead. Dead humans who had opposable thumbs and used them to write symbols for our language (what the late S.I. Hayawaka called helpful noises), which we can read today. Why human society is capable of generational change, unlike cats, chimps, dogs, elephants, etc. Lastly, also left out, well, because no opposable thumbs you omitted all that time that it took for chimp hands to become human hands. Back to animals imagining, since they might, what good does that do them when they can't put their imagining to any good use? But if they had opposable thumbs and perhaps made that better via being bipedal. Which reminds me, toss in becoming bipedal as well (that first then the opposable thumbs). For the bonus freebie, re imagining, please, don't be so full of yourselves. The state of our civilization is owing to probably no more than 100K humans across human history. Whoever domesticated fire and used it to cook, for starters. The great gift from the ages, by the way. Then work your way from there. You've got 99.99K. Don't forget the human who came up with the wheel, the one who first sliced bread, the one who came up with the shoelace, etc. Not the best of analogies, but if human history is torrenting, our history is well and truly rather more leachers than seeders. And I say that out of all humility, since if not for our dead, some of them anyway, well, don't know that I'm imaginative enough to fabricate a clay pot to pee in. But since some other humans were and they wrote about it, it's all good.
What is the ability animals show when improving their world around them by creating a tool? They would have to deduct and concoct a solution in their mind and then execute their idea. Aren’t they showing they’ve imagined a better way to do something when they alter or improve their tool so it fits a changed scenario like a different food’s properties? If that mental exercise isn’t imagination then what is it? And, if it is imagination, is this just a matter of humans having a more advanced ability? If that’s the case then you could point to every other category in the documentary and say it’s the same situation as with those abilities. So, is imagination solely human, or is there just a larger gap in our ability to imagine when compared to the other abilities? I don’t know what else to call what the chimp does when she thinks about how to improve her world and then creates a tool to accomplish the improvement. She had to envision the tool in her head, and she also had to envision a way to update it when necessary. Isn’t envisioning something in your mind that doesn’t exist and then creating it exactly what imagination is?
@DWDocumentary, do other animals dream like we do? If, no then I belive it's our ability to dream rather than our imagination, unless we are considering dream as a form of imagination. Dreams can be more vivid and sometimes carriers sever emotions. In the dreamland our mind creates things and worlds beyoud our imagination. Unless we are willing to see one of them-Imagination and Dreaming as passive and active forms of our innate simulation environment, a spring board of our creativity.
Your treatment of the topic, (understandably) left out much of what must have been a really ugly truth of how we got to where we are today. But my guess is that we (especially males) are different from other animals in that we wage war, harbor grudges, seek revenge, and are over-desirous of sex (and which in our history probably sparked much violence between and among tribes). Even today if conditions are bad we revert to war-lords thugs killing each other, so my guess is that in some strange way and given enough time, that kind of animal becomes smart.
@@crissiv8853 Other animals are capable of being shockingly cruel too, without necessity, or practical reason. See how orcas can torture and toss around a seal or sea lion during hunt, or a cat "playing" with it's food before devouring it alive.
