" “(C)onsciousness” is not a term that applies only to higher mammals, and exists well beyond the realm of humans... it is a continuum, a sliding scale, a gradient of grays between the white of an unfeeling amoeba and the black of we highly evolved Homo sapiens. It is not a quality that something simply “has” or “doesn’t have”. Rather, the animal world falls at points across the scale."
