Always boost/repost animal cognition breakthroughs, especially cephalopods!

"Cephalopod cognition also considerably widens the evolutionary gamut of intelligence, showing that it can evolve without a vertebrate Bauplan ā without an internal skeleton or skull or vertebrate brain architecture. An intelligent animal so radically different from us somehow makes our place in evolution seem a little less special. To us, oh so sapient, humans, cephalopods are a distant mirror, one that may reflect ā and deflect ā some explanations for the evolution of intelligence generally." https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(23)01302-7
