" It is what our species is named for: homo sapiens sapiens, or "thinking thinking man." We have the unique ability to think about our own thoughts, to recognize and analyze our own existence and personal qualities. It is theorized that other primates may have a rudimentary ability to self-recognize and realize that they are alive, but communication is still limited, and thus our knowledge is largely based upon brain structure similarities. " self-realization is a concept equivalent to enlightenment in buddhism, it is not a scientific concept and not what our species was named for. i meant to say "it does not require higher cognitive function". even animals are said to be able to attain it. wikipedia's entry for self-realization: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-realization

That is absurd! No doubt that humans are endowed with a peculiar gift for abstract thought which is STRONGLY CORRELATED with activity in the neo-cortex. But to even speculate that a single part of the brain is responsible for introspection and self realization is to speculate on the source of self consciousness, of which I am quite positive that no one has the authority to make such a claim right now.
Not only that, but introspection and self realization are completely abstract concepts! There is quite a debate about what self realization even IS, and what the criteria for it are. How are we to say definitely that a person has been self realized?
You, ma'am, are guilty of reification!

Pardon me, you initially had referred to "introspection and self-realization," and I interpreted this as consciousness of self and the ability to examine one's own actions and thoughts. These are, in fact, higher cognitive functions, and not spiritual/emotional awakening.
I misinterpreted your comments. Certainly no one knows whether or not hamsters are capable of spiritual awareness/awakening. Perhaps they are furry Buddhas.
