"According to the prevailing science, individuals of most species can't recognize their reflections as themselves. The only known exceptions are humans, some great apes, and possibly dolphins, elephants, and magpies—all animals with high intelligence"

that reminds me

when ur curious

if u throw rocks

together and it breaks

u pick up the slices

and it cuts u

female apes tend to use tools more than male apes

lol

Corvids are also proven to fashion the tools from observation of other birds of their species

We should attempt to recreat the 'Stoned Ape' hypothesis. Maybe it's unethical, but I'm sure China will greenlight it.

The study I mentioned before

^^

Crows are based

lol

there is a line between genius and craziness

Here's a study that could be done: Two troops of apes, and you put new possible tools in their environment. One group gets shrooms, the other doesn't, and then you see how they use the new tools in the environment

You'd need to swap some apes around to be sure that it was not a fluke

Yeah, for sure

Add a previously stoned one into a new troop

Ethical concerns may be had
