Do plants have consciousness?
Answer
Have we got a book for you! What a Plant Knows by Daniel Chamovitz explores topics such as :1. What a plant sees -- 2. What do plants smell? -- 3. What a plant feels -- 4. What a plant hears -- 5. How a plant knows where it is -- 6. What a plant remembers -- Epilogue: the aware plant.
The book is available online at Amazon as well as in our library if you are in town. Chamovitz is a plant geneticist at the Manna Center of Plant Bioscience at Tel Aviv University and his research touches on questions very close to yours, such as a plant's rudimentary awareness. If you would like to hear his lecture at Harvard University on his work, it is available on YouTube.
