![]() ![]() It is likely the cetaceans have little concept or desire to hide things from other, psychologically.įor the whales, whale-song changed yearly and was used to communicate and map the ocean for thousands of miles and contained the information of volumes of books. But because their brains could abstract ideas, the sculptures could mechanically stimulate bio-luminescent Noctiluca miliaris bacteria in the water, building sculptures out of light.ĭolphins and porpoises could see through each other's flesh into the cavities between bones. Despite differences, the cetaceans had a sense of aesthetics, building three dimensional sculptures out of sound. The images of a shark could be created in the water through sounds, this underlying structure was often missed even as humans appreciated the sounds. Their brains have advanced dopplar sense. Dolphins, could reason and communicate by manipulating sonic imagery, each audio frequency have particular quale attached (perhaps best equated to colours). The reality to dolphins and whales was alien to that of human perception, and so of course, meanings and being. Cetaceans evolved under different selective pressures and despite coming from the same planet, their complex brains having evolved to model, communicate and solve problems in a non-anthropic environment. The cognitive faculties and minds of Cetaceans cannot be directly compared to human brains in any sense of hierarchy. The neurons of baseline Cetacea have about the same sentience quotient as an unmodified Homo sapiens, in terms of the ratio between information processing efficiency and mass. Thus the brains of various Cetacean species and humans and posthumans vary somewhat in capabilities. In Cetaceans, the structure is different, dolphin brains are much quicker to react to sensory input. Structurally, human brains could hardly better than they are in terms of evolution any bigger, the neocortex, sensory and motor connections would slow down (but given the human ability of creativity and critical knowledge making, technology and language surpasses these organic limitations). Adult dolphin brains can weigh as much as 250 grams more than Homo sapiens, although mass alone doesn't give an accurate measure. ![]() In terms of mass, size and computational efficiency, the brains are dolphins are comparable to of average "Earther" humans. While this allowed cetaceans to use technology, they were already sentient in their own way. Although humans had known they were capable of abstract reasoning, language and consciousness since the 20th century, humanity attempted to uplift the cetacean species to human-type understanding, which instead was an invasion of the Cetacean's contemplative culture. It wasn't until the 22nd century that cetaceans were regarded as sentient by mainstream science. It is unknown when in the last 50 million years when the members of Order Cetacea evolved sentience, as they may have done separately at different times. ![]()
