... Self-consciousness. Where we are aware of our bodies, and the control of movement, unlike animals. We see ourselves in daily life, and an animal would not, not even in a mirror. These are basic morals or ideals we humans live by today, in our mind and domains. Gilgamesh believes that humans equal god plus animal. The divine plus the beast makes up a person.
