In my opinion animals don't have active brains as most cannot communicate through their own language etc. They mate and do things by instinct. What you think?

I think I am going have to read more! But I think you are right
Stephen Hawkins said that humans for years lived like animals till they learned to talk. Not sure if the rest of the animals can do the same, but for the time being they don't!

Humans are nothing more than animals. Besides, animals communicate through body language and senses that we, humans are incapable of. We also mate and do things by instinct. Sex is an instinctual behavior. Don't try to make humans better than other organisms, we aren't. We happen to be the only creature that destroys its own habitat.

well yes of course they have an active brain. animals do communicate with their own language. watch a pack of dogs. they use looks smells and growls to communicate. that's their language just like words are our language. any thing borned with a brain has an active brain.when the brain stops being active then it called brain dead.that goes for humans and animals.

Yes, animals do have brains, and they do work. What do you think they are, skull-insulation? Language is not the end-all, be-all of intelligence, and even if it were you'd have to explain how birds communicate with each other through song, how a gorilla can learn sign language, how parrots talk, how wolves howl, and on and on before you could go any further with your "thought".

Animals brains are active. You think animals behave by instinct. What do you think we do. All the human mind does is respond to stimuli. After responding to stimuli for a while it learns and attempts to predict which stimuli will are cues for other stimuli. Think about Pavlov's dogs. That's all we do, we're just slightly better at it than the other animals.

Yes. The idea of animals acting solely on instinct is slightly inaccurate. Many animals have the capacity for free will. Primates, carnivores and even molluscs have been observed to ignore their immediate instincts in favour of long-term gain.

Yes they do have active brains but are without the ability of higher reason and intelligence of humans, that is why you don`t see a gorilla going to Harvard or Yale.

True, they dont have the power of understanding and discovering principles yet they do have natural powers that help them survive much like how humans use the power of knowledge. You believe humans are superior to all living things on this planet. In a micro view, thats like saying Hitlers race is superior, just because!

Animal brains are active, but not like human brains.

no its no longer real we use maximum of our concepts potential. I even have examine lots on concepts utilization because of the fact of an harm I had which has given me the interest to be taught greater approximately it. They do say however that we are greater sensible than human beings some hundred years in the past as in our brains have stepped forward greater.
