Did it? Or are we just now understanding animal development? Hell, even
the lowly crow has been witnessed problem solving and using tools. And
language? Many, many, species communicate both verbally and physically.

Tell me when one of them develops and produces something to increase
its food supply. Guano doesn't count.

I'm not going to argue with your idea that other animals have the
mental reasoning capacity as human. If you believe so, fine. I *will*
agree that some humans seem to have the reasoning capacity of slugs.

We have a couple right here.

Ants farm. Bring in grass and leaves that symbiotic bacteria grow on,
giving the ants the final food product.



When they develop a cultivator to keep out the weeds, let me know.
Otherwise it's just instinct.
