This is a big statement.
Many mammals form social and emotional bonds with others, feel sorrow, happiness, jealously and other emotions, and mourn the loss of their young. Surely they must have some awareness of existence and non existence, even if that awareness is not specific.
BTW, how many humans can truly grasp the concept of death?
