dhw: Since as far as we know life began with single cells, this whole process of cellular cooperation makes for a logical progression of common descent that encompasses all organisms, including cephalopods – they all stem from cells/cell communities responding intelligently but differently to environmental conditions.

Certain genomes have certainly branched off, mechanisms not proven to be this or that.

dhw: I would disagree profoundly with Sydney Brenner’s suggestion that octopi were the first intelligent beings on earth, but perhaps we need to know what he meant by “intelligence”.

You have forgotten this entry about octopi:
