Do you think we are the only life forms on the planet who have doubles?
Not sure whom you're addressing, but my answer would be that every living thing (and probably inorganic beings as well) have the potential to evolve or to be more than the sum of their parts.
I think animals, for example, are more "whole" unto themselves in the first place. Zero (my weenie dog) doesn't have to go to extreme machinations to know who she is. She just IS. She doesn't stress over impeccability or dreaming or stalking. She just lives each moment as if it might be her last, and in doing so... she creates herself outside of time. It's unfortunate that humans treat animals like second class citizens. In many ways, they are quite superior to their 2-legged counterparts.
