In mammals, evolution seems to have resulted in an
increasingly complex central nervous system, culminating in the complexity
of
human consciousness.

Hi Huxter:
Yes, I am implying that a human CNS is more complex than a cow's. I imply
that while other mammals are conscious and capable of abstraction, it is to a
lesser degree than humans. I even suspect their brain is less complex.
Furthermore, I'll really go out on a limb and suggest that humans are smarter
than cows.
I fear my judgements are entirely unscientific, and await your scientific
evidence that I am wrong.
