Octopuses Are Ridiculously Smart

The video explores the intelligence of octopuses, highlighting their unique anatomy and neural structures. Unlike humans, octopuses have a significant portion of their neurons in their arms, allowing independent problem-solving. Studies show octopuses exhibit advanced cognition, tool use, and distinct personalities. Despite evolving separately from humans, octopuses have developed intelligence through different evolutionary pressures, such as the loss of their shell, which led to adaptive behaviors for survival.

In what ways do octopuses display distinct personalities?

What evolutionary advantages might have led to the development of intelligence in octopuses?
