@JulienDelpierre perhaps if the chart were titled “the limit of our understanding of cognitive proxies” 🤣
@JulienDelpierre yes, agree. Additionally, it is limited by out framing. I think it is unfortunate that the unknowns make it seem like they are “not evident”. Without taking the time to truly understand the graphic it seems that pigs are clearly have more that other animals… but the true interpretation is only that we can perceive pigs intelligence in those areas. There is a stark absence of “not likely”
Beautiful blog post reviewing the cognitive capacity of multiple animal species. Their work focuses on #animalwelfare and #cognition. #cognitivescience #behavior #physiology

@JulienDelpierre interestingly, the grey is not evidence of absence. It only really shows how much we don’t know yet about these animals.
@JulienDelpierre this is a wonderful graphic. I wonder how humans, primates and crows would place in this chart

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.
