Other Minds

The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life

Although mammals and birds are widely regarded as the smartest creatures on earth, it has lately become clear that a very distant branch of the tree of life has also sprouted higher intelligence: the cephalopods, consisting of the squid, the cuttlefish, and above all the octopus.

Have you read War with the Newts?
This one is fiction but takes the nonfiction phenomenon above to wild proportions:)

@jiujensu @appassionato @bookstodon There's an indie game called HROT that has an episode called War with the Newts. It has all sorts of references but I never thought to look for an actual book (assuming that's the origin)!
