It is said that most animals do not recognize themselves in the

But do they recognize themselves by smell or other senses?
The mirror thing is overated. It simply indicates that a particular
organism is intellectually inadequate at understanding reflection.
When a chicken attempts to flee, it demonstrates that it has no
problem recognizing that the dog is chasing "my body" rather than the
body of another chicken.
Do we humans recognize ourselves by other senses than the visual one?
Hellen Keller obviously did. Even before Sullivan worked her over, she
seemed to have an emotionally-felt concept of "phantom" (the
invisible, soundless world) which dichotomized her experience into
"this" (me) and "that".
