SUMMARY:
The human brain has nearly 100,000 times as many neurons as the bee brain, yet the rudiments of many of our most valued behaviours can be seen in the teeming activity of the hive.
About one-fifth of all you eat is used to power the electrical chit-chat between your 100 billion little grey cells. We can multi-task.
COMMENTARY:
Culture, technology, altruism and many other traits have all been touted as signs of human greatness – but the more you look, the narrower that list becomes. Macaques, for instance, have long been known to pick up stones to crack nuts while New Caledonian crows can craft hooks from a broken stick to help them pick up food - both rudimentary forms of tool use.
VOCABULARY:
lazily: Perezosamente
behaviours: Conductas
humpback: Jorobado
