dhw: Of course other crows can see what the inventor did. Do you think they're blind until they start fighting? -It is this point that I doubt. The crows I see are solo flyers. No one crow watches another build a nest.-> dhw:And the inventor can teach his/her offspring to do it too,-Your point here is valid, only if they hang around to watch him, but they don't! They fledge and fly off to their own lives. Crows are no a group community. You are anthropomorphizing crows. - > dhw: Now perhaps you'll answer the question I asked you: “Do you think your God preprogrammed every Caledonian crow to suddenly start using tools?”-YES-> dhw: And yes, I believe we inherited aggression, greed, territorialism from our fellow animals, just as we inherited parental love, social structures, and the need to explore.-I think they are parallel developments. Do we have specific genes for greed, aggression, etc.? No. Genes are the tools of evolution.
