Flies and fleas are also conscious and unique

The team scanned the fly brain and realized that they were not only conscious, "subjective experience", but also recognized the world in the way people do.

We humans have always agreed that there are a few animals on Earth that achieve a much higher level of awareness than the rest.

For example, whales are famous for their excellent communication and intelligence skills. Or dogs are evolved with a variety of complex emotions . This is one of the reasons people don't mind killing them.

According to Macquarie University researchers in Australia, flies and fleas have "subjective experience", one of the most basic forms of consciousness - (Photo: Flickr).

However, insects never seem to be included in this list. Insects are classified as "not feeling" by humans. So if "blessed" heads into the house and annoys people, they can be slaughtered.

But maybe now, before the fly is smashed, humanity will be a bit hesitant because scientists have found evidence that the insects are also conscious and unique.

(Occasional: Piaget defines selfishness as thinking about the physical world and the social world according to its own unique point of view. As a result, personal characteristics are used to define or interpret the Characteristics of the object in the environment: I am confused with what is not me Example: Believing that when you close your eyes tightly, no one will see you.

A team of researchers from Macquarie University in Australia thinks flies and fleas have "subjective experience" - one of the most basic forms of consciousness.

To come to this conclusion, the team scanned the flies 'brains, compared flies' brains with other animals, and found that the brain of the fly had a structure similar to the human brain, allowing them draw the world the same way we do.

Researcher Colin Klein told Discovery News: "When you and I are hungry, we are not just towards food, our hunger also has a special feeling attached to it. An experienced body master If its mental state feels something when they happen .

In other human and bony animals (vertebrates and / or spine) there is good evidence that the middle brain is responsible for the basic ability for subjective experience. "

"The cerebral cortex determines how much we perceive but the middle brain is the first place for us to be aware. It is like that, very primitive, by forming a unique integrated image of world from a single perspective , Colin Klein said.

Flies are also self-centered because they choose to pay attention to this other than to exist in their own way - (Photo: Internet).

Therefore, Klein's group thinks that flies are also unique because they choose to pay attention to this over other things to survive in their own way.

Researchers want to learn more to try and try to figure out how consciousness develops and evolves in all species. Until now, evidence shows that organisms become conscious when they start prioritizing needs and being able to move freely.

The simple way to visualize is to think of jellyfish. Jellyfish are not conscious. They don't move freely around the ocean, instead, wave. If they are agile, they will need to choose to meet their needs and from here, can develop consciousness.
