http://www.bbc.com/future/story/2014073 ... in-objects basically its genetically implanted too see faces and shapes of animals in our mind. this explains why animals can pic you out. they are genetically imprinted too see faces eyes and living shapes. the ones that dont die over a span of evolution. a deers vision is pixalated like looking at at old tv thats getting bad reception. now if a human can see a face in static thats what a animal is doing as well its seeing that animal shape from your eyes and face.
Did you read the article you put a link to? What I read talks about human beings seeing faces in toast. Just a few of your comments that was not in the article you provided a link for; animals, evolution, eyes and pixilation.
If credibility is the end goal a link is provided to support what somone is saying. I am struggling to see how comments have anything to do with link or this thread.
what im getting at is its not crazy too think that animals can have this same function in how there brain works for seeing and identifying a threat our dna compared too other animals is really not that far off. humans have the ability too think but the wiring is basically the same on many levels of brain function compared too other animals. so a animal picking out shapes from eyes face and body shape is really not far fetched, and can simply be genetic imprint over millions of years of evolution. what im stating is nothing more than a calculated theory on why something might be it could go nowhere or it could actually become fact.
Now we are getting somewhere. No matter how much I dissagree I will not dismiss a theory. That is how things advance. Form a theory, test, disprove form another theory. My problem was the refrence to "pareidolia" as support for your theory. According to the link, and your theory, an animal would see eyes or a face in an inanimate object.
In this scenario I find it a lot more likely that the cat (from 3 ft away) clearly recognized something he had seen many times and recognized there is usually a defined form accompanying the set of eyes. I try to derive some meaning from real world encounters and apply that to hunting, working or life in general. After all, a brain is what seperates us from the animals.
