is there evidence of animals holding concepts independent of man?


I WOULD THINK THE ANSWER WOULD BE "NO"  ONE WOULD THINK HUMAN CONCEPTUAL
ORIGINS HAD ITS BEGINNINGS RIVALING THAT OF MODERN PRIMATES
THE MIND SEEMS TO HAVE AN INTANGIBLE "QUALITY" THAT SEEMS NIETHER TO BE
DEFINED NOR MEASURED
BY ANY PHYSICAL OR CONCEPTUAL MEANS.
THE MINDS FIRST AND ORIGINAL COGNITIVE PROCESS SEEMS TO BE DETERMINING
WHAT IS GOOD AND 
WHAT IS NOT GOOD. WHEN DEVELOPED THIS SEEMS TO ORIGINATE AND
MANIFEST ITSELF AS ANALOGIE AND METAPHOR, DEVELOPING INTO "NAMING"
AND COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE. CREATING A MICROCOSIM USED TO UNDERSTAND AND
COPE WITH THE SURROUNDING
ENVIRONMENT. THE MISTAKE IS CONFUSING THIS "METAPHOR OF THE MIND" WITH
ACTUAL REALITY 
 
WHAT SEEMS TO SEPERATE THE HUMAN MIND FROM OTHERS IS THE ABILITY TO
CONCIEVE OF ITS OWN
NON-EXISTENCE.

ANY INPUT?
