Crows vs Primate IQ
I read a short news article that scientists believe that the intelligence of crows might be close to that of primates. Has anyone else read anything in depth about this - if so, what are the references - or is this just a bit of furphy.
​
If it is true, what would this suggest for the future evolution of these birds.
