Animal cognition

The scientific evidence that animals solve problems, use tools, recognize themselves, and navigate complex social hierarchies—yet we keep acting surprised when a crow remembers your face or an octopus escapes its tank. It's less about whether animals are smart and more about admitting we were wrong about the baseline.
