Interview: Lewis Thomas
Read
this 1992 interview with Lewis Thomas in which
he discusses the state of humankind and our history
as a species. Thomas states that the human species
is "really very new and quite young,"
having been on Earth between 30,000 and 40,000
years. How do you suppose our species might look
in another few thousand years? Draw a picture
or write a description of the physical changes
that you think might take place.
Nature:
Inside the Animal Mind—Animal Consciousness
Thomas ends his story by pondering the
consciousness of ants as they work on a common
task. Read through this site on animal consciousness
and be sure to watch the video clips. Then go
to "What Do You Think?" to take
a poll on animal awareness.
