It is no longer possible scientifically to compare something like “consciousness” or “language” among human and non-human animals as if there were a singular axis of calibration.… No single axis of difference, and no single postulate of continuity, does justice to the motley of communicating critters, including people and dogs. “Minds” are not all of the human sort, to say the least. Figuring out how to do the needed sorts of experimental work, in which heterogeneous material-semiotic entanglements are the norm, should be great fun and scientifically very creative. That such acute work remains to be done gives a pretty good idea about how abstemious, if not frightened of otherness, researching and philosophizing humans in Western traditions have been.

(Haraway 2008:235–36)
