For Matt: Corvids are amazing (Introduction)

by xeno6696 , Sonoran Desert, Saturday, July 02, 2011, 14:01 (4682 days ago) @ David Turell

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-06-bird-brained-clever-crows-recognise.html-I knew Crows could at least differentiate between the numbers 1-4 and do some addition as well. I didn't have any idea they recognized faces. This is a great article, and it brings to mind another question. -Has anyone explored the idea of self-directed evolution as an explanation for Man's rapid advance? Lets not also forget that we used not have the same care for human life--Sparta comes to mind with its practice of infanticide. -I bring this up because of the recent reports coming from a long-term study of domesticating foxes in Russia. Simple selection made drastic differences between tame and wild foxes. How much has unnatural selection played in our own history?

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
