Есть ли у животных сознание? Если да, то у каких и насколько оно похоже на человеческое? И кстати, что это вообще такое? На протяжении последних десятилетий этими вопросами задавались ученые во всем мире, проводя огромное количество экспериментов. Проанализировав итоги последних исследований, группа ученых представила Нью-Йоркскую декларацию о сознании животных. Она гласит: у науки есть реальные основания подозревать, что признаки сознания присущи многим видам, включая ракообразных и насекомых. Текст заявления опубликован 19 апреля, и за месяц его подписали уже более 280 ученых, среди которых сотрудники Оксфорда, Кембриджа, Йеля, Сорбонны и других престижных университетов. Впрочем, нашлись у документа и свои критики. «Медуза» рассказывает, что важно знать о декларации.
