He put evolution in three stages. These three stages obviously takes thousands
and thousands of years. You know how evolution works right? There is a reason
rats are picked for so much research that is applied to humans (the effects of
something in rats is often replicated in humans).
I have also seen rats complete tasks such as serial pattern tasks and spatial
mazes that are extremely difficult.
Of course I wouldn't grant rats an appreciation of of art but
I can find it believable that mammalian consciousness had its
roots here.
