Can Flies Feel Fear Like Humans?

  • Опубликовано: 25 май 2015
  • When you go after a fly with a flyswatter, are they afraid? Do flies even feel fear?
    Read More:
    Do flies have fear (or something like it)?
    www.eurekalert....
    "When fruit flies respond to the threat of an overhead shadow, are they afraid? That's a hard question to answer, say researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on May 14. However, their studies do show that flies' response to visual threats includes many essential elements of what we humans call fear."
    Behavioral Responses to a Repetitive Visual Threat Stimulus Express a Persistent State of Defensive Arousal in Drosophila
    www.cell.com/cu...
    "The neural circuit mechanisms underlying emotion states remain poorly understood."
    Do Flies Have Emotions?
    www.iflscience....
    "No, despite some of the headlines that are spreading across the Internet, scientists have not found that flies are emotional beings, nor did they demonstrate that the insects experience feelings like fear in a similar way to us."

    a few years ago. an army of house flies invaded my kitchen. Like there were over 400+. they were in the glasses, on the counter, and all over the food. They were fearless, and did not fly off when you waved at them. So we where forced to bring out the spray. It was a massacre... but at least we saved humanity from a revolutionary invasion.

    • @gothgf1177
      @gothgf1177 Год назад

      The flies in your soil are fungus gnats, and they will lay larvae under the soil and they're really annoying to get rid of. They will cause harm to your plants, get some neem oil and cover the top soil with sand or gravel to prevent them. They are usually a sign of overwatering your plants, so lay off it for a while!

  • @BudCharlesUnderVlogs
    @BudCharlesUnderVlogs 9 лет назад +4

    Maybe it's more of a gradient than a specific line where something starts having emotions and being conscious. At one end there's humans, dolphins, dogs, otters and creatures like that which can fully experience emotions and life, at the other end there's inanimate objects like rocks and photons that can't feel a thing, in between there are many stages with varying degrees of consciousness. But that implies that computers are already able to some degree experience things, after all there is no way to tell between the way a sim reacts in SimCity 4 vs the way a fly reacts in real life. So we're already pretty much at the start of the singularity.

    I have a little bit of a hard time believing this since I've had to fight flies before to keep them away from my food. No matter how close I came to killing anyone of them, they would always come back, even though there was much easier food for them to eat.
    Either they are stupidly brave or they are just stupid and we think they feel fear because they don't like shadows.

  • @JAYDUBYAH29
    @JAYDUBYAH29 9 лет назад

    "do they have emotions that drive these responses or are they merely mechanical" -really this is a question about qualia and feelings.
    i think evolutionary neurology suggests that emotions ride upon instincts, not the other way around...
    so the capacity to feel emotions is technically a limbic system phenomenon, and therefore only really present in mammals.
    but the underlying instinctive mechanisms are there in the brain stem and nervous system functions common to reptiles.
    surely an even more basic version of this is present in insects like flies..... given that the instinctive response to avoid being killed would be driven by some insect version of adrenaline/sympathetic nervous system activation.
    this would then theoretically require time to return to homeostasis.
    but this does not in and of itself suggest emotion, anymore than a dog expressing empathy or loneliness suggests that it would be able to translate that limbic emotional activity into the kind of poetry or musical composition that the human neocortex can generate in symbolic terms...
    perhaps the answer is that yes, flies have a very very very basic form of "qualia, self and consciousness" a la ramachandran's brilliant formulation found in the youtube video of the same name -but without anything like the depth, complexity and reflexivity that we have.

    They know we're trying to get them when we swat them therefore they are afraid . Since they are afraid they have fear.

    I don't know what "officially" constitutes an emotion, but I'd say there's a significant difference when it comes to the ability to intellectualize that emotion, even on a primitive level. Example: "Danger, therefore, avoid" is a simple response which even a machine could be programmed to do. "Danger, and I'm aware of the fact that I'm afraid of it," adds an element of self-awareness, which makes it an emotion as humans would understand it. Do flies do this? I don't know, but it seems unlikely. The fact that flies apparently have the same behavior as each other suggests they're driven more by instinct than psychology or choice. Compare that do more complex animals like dogs or cats, which exhibit varying personality traits, suggesting a more nuanced psychology. But this is just me talking out of my ass.

      @jhug111 9 лет назад +1

      Shawn Ravenfire That's exactly what the study was getting at, but I like the point that they don't show much variability between individuals. Maybe because they have smaller brains it doesn't allow for that complexity? It makes me wonder how smart an organism has to be to have emotions? What's the cutoff point for that?

      jhug111 The only way to find out is start selectively breeding animals for intelligence, and eventually teach them how to speak English.
      I can imagine it now. Dogs and cats yelling "FEED ME, YOU FUCK" instead of whining and meowing.

      @AdleisioCefnforDolphin 9 лет назад

      Xor'Kov You actaully cannot teach other animals english, the lack of lip muscles and the proper vocal chords would be a huge hurtle. Now you could in theory use intelligence to teach them how to understand English and maybe develop a way for them to communicate back, but actual speech is not physically possible [yet].
      And speaking of a means of communication, researchers are actually attempting to communicate with dolphins. While there are significant hurtles, there are huge amounts of evidence to suggest that they feel emotions in a far more complex manner than we do, self aware and everything that is required for sapience. This is research worth pursuing as it would radically change how we have to think about ourselves as an intelligent species.

    I feel that all living things have feelings and fear, maybe not the same as ours but never the less life is life. I remember a study that was done 20+ years ago the proved the plants feel pain. Life is life regardless of size and or matter.

    • @buzzsah
      @buzzsah 9 лет назад

      buzzsah ps, a tree sheds it's leaves for the winter because it knows it can not survive the weight of the winter upon it's leaves. So to survive another season it drops it's leaves to save it's body so it can reproduce new leaves to help take in water, , help clean the air, giving us clean oxygen, shad, and more.

      buzzsah Plants can't feel pain or express any thought or emotion. They do not have brains, nervous systems, or sensory organs like we do.

    • @buzzsah
      @buzzsah 9 лет назад

      Darth Trayeth Exactly not as we do. But to think we are the only form of life, and we are the only living, or type of living things that can feel because we have things that other things do not would be of a closed minded person. A tree, plant has roots to collect nourishment to feed, it needs water if not it dies, it produces. Right it don't have organs as we or as we know but that doesn't mean they can not feel in their own way.

    • @sonicquake00ad26
      @sonicquake00ad26 9 лет назад

      Darth Trayeth Non in the way that you would know or register as a human. But, plants do register these things as was proven in some studies. A good example was a popular scientific study done by the Japanese involving x2 bowls of rice in x2 separate rooms. The one bowl of rice was hated on with negative comments and went moldy soon. However, the other bowl of rice was spoken to with love and it actually lasted longer than it's due date to have gone moldy =^_^=

    • @falsevacuum4667
      @falsevacuum4667 9 лет назад

      Sonic Quake 00AD The only explanation I can think of is the tone of our voices affected it by the differences in the strength of sound waves. Also, a bowl of rice as you described would already be dead so..

    Don't animals need some sort of fear mechanism in order to survive and better protect themselves?

    • @ForeverN00Bish
      @ForeverN00Bish 9 лет назад

      Hytherdel Yes but we haven't really been able to determine if their fear mechanism is like ours. When we are afraid of something, we realise it. An animal seems to think "Danger, therefore avoid" whereas humans think "danger and I am aware that it scares me, I am afraid of it." Think about how spiders or mice scare some humans. We are larger, stronger, faster, and smarter than the spider/mouse, we even have makeshift weaponry that would allow us to kill it without getting close (broom sticks, etc.) Yet, some people are so afraid that they will not even act even though this creature is incabale of harming them. If humans thought like animals, we would simply avoid or kill the spider and that would be that.
