An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence.
Decades of research document plants’ impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways.
A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

Thanks

Awesome book! I’ve read a lot about how cognitive plants really are. Studies show if you hold a scissor with the intent to cut the plant, their EEG’s will go crazy indicating they can read your intentions. If you scream and yell and direct hate towards a plant it will whither and die, while plants shown love will thrive. Many experiments have shown this and much more.
I believe that this gives some thought for people against eating meat due to the cruelty of killing animals, but it would seem to me that with plants you are eating them alive, and they have knowledge of it! Thank you for sharing!

Like any large multicellular organism, plants coordinate behaviour via intercellular signalling. But they haven’t got anything at all like the interconnect required to maintain “sentience” of the sort exists in vertebrates and other CNS-havers. If you want a reasonable book on this subject, try instead Plant Behaviour and Intelligence by Anthony Trewavas.

The natural world is endlessly fascinating.

Calvo talks about the pretty technical concept called “integrated information theory” (IIT) to back up the idea that plants can be sentient. According to IIT, consciousness is all about how connected a system’s parts are and how you can’t reduce it to just those parts. The more connected and irreducible a system is, the more conscious it is. IIT says that the brain is super conscious, but it also says that things like photodiodes and atoms are a bit conscious, which is honestly tough to believe.

This is what happens when you give research grant money to a bunch of potheads. You get whitepapers on how ferns have feelings.

When you realize you cannot eat anything without hurting it deeply, what then? Does life really feed on life or are we meant to sit and wait to die? The new world is wonderful and I am going to go meditate…to death.

Some plants are so clever they’ve managed to get millions of talking apes to spread their seeds far & wide & nourish, water & protect them. The talking apes went so far as to build an elaborate system they call civilization, whose primary purpose appears to be raising as many seed plants as their abilities allow.
Some of them gave up wandering around the forests and built lodgings right next to the plants so they can be available every waking moment to slavishly see to the plants every need & protect planty from any & all predators………Wise plants indeed.

@Hogweed um, this should give no (further) “thought”, nor is it any vaguely logically analogous, to the pain (not too mention (further) destruction of the planet/environment) involved in farming/killing (etc) animals (for which we grow (hence kill) even MORE plants to feed)…
No doubt we are a destructive species.
Even the most careful walker steps on ants, injests flying critters and, disturbingly, uses plastic.
The idea, for the sensible thinker, is to try to do the least amount of damage.
Screaming, bleeding cow….or a plant that (in many cases) drops it’s fruit for the exact idea that it is consumed. Hmmmmmm.
Also, EKG, not EEG.

My rubber plant talks to me and tells me how smart it is. I said “ok wise guy if you’re so smart let’s see you survive in the wild by yourself”. It laughed in my face but two weeks later it was still sitting in its pot on the porch and begging for some water. I guess it’s a Republican after all as I long suspected.

Many ancient cultures felt this, we starting to know how.. reminds me of the experiment on water by Masaru Emoto!
