520 |a Beginning with an introduction to sentience, the book investigates why we are so interested in sentience; when, as a species, humans became sentient; and how it has changed over time. The book defines aspects of sentience such as consciousness, memory and emotions, and discusses brain complexity in detail. Looking at sentience from a developmental perspective, it analyzes when in an individual's growth sentience can be said to appear and uses evidence from a range of studies investigating embryos, fetuses and young animals to form an enlightening overview of the subject. With a full chapter covering ethical decisions such as animal protection and experimentation, this book is not only an invaluable resource for researchers and students of animal welfare and biology, but also an engaging and informative read for veterinarians and the general public. --Provided by publisher.
