Ep. 42 A Conspiracy of Ravens

<p>Ravens, crows, and other corvids have held a special place in the human imagination for centuries, and deservedly so! In this episode, we discuss ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE in the context of ravens and crows. We talk about tool-making, inductive reasoning, and convergent evolution of counting! Funky stuff! Learn about these cool birds! Special shoutout to Dr. Swift (twitter: @corvidresearch), her twitter and blog inspired us to do this episode!</p> <p>Featuring a promo for the podcast Ignorance Was Bliss, check it out on twitter @IWBpodcast and &nbsp;<a href="https://iwbpodcast.com/">https://iwbpodcast.com/</a></p> <p>Email us at petridishpod -at- <a href="https://gmail.com/"><u>gmail.com</u></a>.
