dhw: Somehow I doubt if even newborn humans could come up with “a full-fledged theory of mind”. However, if it is not obvious that survival strategies, decision-making, problem-solving, cooperation, symbiosis etc. require thought, I shall advise my Professor Fatt-Grant to abandon his planned sequel (Why Do Humans Think That Only Humans Can Think?) and instead concentrate on proving that water is wet, the sun is hot, and it takes two to tango. - Jack the poodle has entered the fray: it is Spring and he has remembered where to look for lizards to chase. He certainly can contain ideas and memories. Just a vast difference in kind.
