In "Sentience," renowned psychologist Nicholas Humphrey explores the evolutionary origins of consciousness, examining why we experience sensations and whether other animals or future machines might also be sentient. Blending scientific discoveries with philosophical inquiry, he seeks to understand the nature and purpose of phenomenal consciousness—our vivid perceptions of the world. Humphrey proposes that consciousness is a sophisticated evolutionary development, with intriguing implications for understanding sentience beyond humans.
