For aeons humans in that monumentally human-centric way believed that they alone are self-aware. However this belief is as false as the belief that that world is flat.
Dolphins can grasp abstraction ie left and right, they can also discern between a noun and a verb, indeed they demonstrate startling language and cognitive skills. They are also, as has been clearly documented in studies 'self aware'. ie they will 'know' that what they see in the mirror is them, not another dolphin.
The term 'Machiavelli hypthesis' is employed for Dolphins cognitive skills
this term is employed for individuals who live in complex social groups and therefore require complex cognition. They are second only to humans when it comes to brain complexity.
