Fuzzy not only for squirrels, but for people as well.  I assume that the student
meant "sense of the future" as a person would have such a "sense."  Do we have a
sense of the future that is qualitatively different from a simple ability to
adapt, either as a result of evolution or learning?  Is our "sense" more than
just a label we give to our ability to engage in anticipatory behaviors?
