Octopuses Are Smart*


Great interactive graphic and article from Boston.com on the intelligence of Octopuses. As a believer in evolution, and further, a believer that humans are by no means the end point of evolution, but rather a stop on the way to even more evolved beings that will one day make us look like single-celled organisms in comparison, I love reading about the intelligence of other creatures.


*Funnily enough, I meant the headline as a joke "knowing" as I do that the plural of Octopus is Octopi. Turns out, I was wrong, at least in part. Octopuses is perfectly acceptable as a plural, as is Octopi.
