dhw;It doesn't matter when lessons begin, or how many lessons are needed, or when crows observe other crows using tools. Once the first clever crow has come up with his/her “invention”, there are perfectly simple ways in which other crows can take it up. God did not need to preprogramme every Caledonian crow to start using tools. - Only when observation shows crows watching other crows inventing is your point valid. - > DAVID: Sometimes we agree a bit. These are parallel developments. Self-protection for survival is built into life. > > dhw: Issue settled, so long as you agree that aggression, fear, the need to explore, social cooperation, parental love etc. etc. are common to the organisms that have preceded us, and are not human inventions. - Agreed. All organisms with brains have parallel capacities to react as your describe.
