The absence of a neocortex does not appear to preclude an organism from experiencing affective states. Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Nonhuman animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess these neurological substrates.

Animals Everlasting

A queen’s pet gazelle was readied for eternity with the same lavish care as a member of the royal family. In fine, blue-trimmed bandages and a custom-made wooden coffin, it accompanied its owner to the grave in about 945 B.C., Egyptian Museum, Cairo


Photographer Richard Barnes spent more than ten years documenting the way we assemble, contain, and catalog the natural world. Barnes’s behind-the-scenes photographs are haunting reminders that there is nothing natural about a natural history museum.

“What inspired you to turn a horse’s shoulder or rear-end into a piece of art?”

“To me … it is a piece of art. It is the structure of muscle and bone beneath the skin. It is the texture and warmth of the coat. It is the pattern of that coat. My images are what I call a “Visual Touch”. They are what the horse person sees and works with. Not the whole, but the piece. The piece you are grooming. The part under your hand.”
