DAVID: Yes human consciousness different in kind. Thank you.

dhw: I was talking about languages, but I agree that chimps, chickens, dolphins, ants and humans are likely to think like chimps, chickens, dolphins, ants and humans and not like one another. We are indeed all different in kind. But I also agree that like our language, our consciousness has evolved to be infinitely more advanced and more complex than that of all the other different kinds of animals.

Thank you. Human are different in kind, not degree.
