RE: Cаn The Wаy We Perceive Time Mаke Us Immortаl?

Animals must be aware of the passage of time because, squirrels for example, prepare for the winter by collecting and burying nuts. They must have some innate awareness of a future event occurring (winter) for them to prepare for it. I can't imagine that they just bury nuts out of instinct, not knowing why they are doing it, without some perception of present and future.

Sort:  

As far as we know it's instinct.
Thanks for stopping by :)

My cat also knows when its almost his dinner time, but then he is probably more intelligent than me so that's hardly surprising!
