As far as I'm aware, there are no other animals with systems such as logic etc. This is the sort of thing I keep mentioning when I suggest that we might be rigging the game (in other threads as well as this one, about subjects other than this one as well).
I'm attempting to remove the suspicion of bias (which is part of that drive to be rational)
You might have a point there. I guess the suspicion of bias would be removed if in the cases where human children were raised in isolation from any other human contact and still displayed a drive to be rational (such as the cases of feral children). They need not be capable of traditional human rationality, but if they display it in some form that suited them, it would be quite convincing in removing bias.
