TKSST โข seethis.tv ๐๐ชโจ๐๐ช In a new study, two #beluga #whales at a #NewYork #aquarium showed possible self-recognition in a mirror โ one even pressing a mark behind her ear against the reflective surface.
The results place belugas alongside #chimpanzees, #dolphins, #elephants, and maybe #magpies on a short list of species that pass. But scientists disagree on what the test actually proves, and the debate itself raises deeper questions about animal #consciousness.

Radical AnthropologySocial learning in wild #chimpanzees 'wild chimpanzees use peering, i.e. the close-range observation of a conspecific, for targeted social information seeking. We then show that chimpanzees peer at a wide range of everyday skills, such as feeding and grooming, and direct peering toward various conspecifics from an early age'

NeurofrontiersDay 3: Remaining on the topic of chimpanzees, it seems that among their many similarities to humans is also their ability to engage in organized warfare. I find the topic quite sad, so won't expand on it here, but if you'd like to know more, I'll leave the Wiki links to two prominent chimpanzee wars.

Day 2: It's likely that you've heard about Jane Goodall by now. She was a pioneer in studying the behavior of primates and demonstrated that chimpanzees share many traits with humans (like using tools or passing down knowledge from generation to generation). But did you know that she was also the first to assign names to chimps instead of numbering them? The latter was standard practice as it avoided anthropomorphizing the animals, so her decision to name them was highly controversial at the time. In the end, it worked out. To date, she remains the only human ever accepted into the chimp society.
