“When you dive into the sea, you are diving into the origin of us all.”
― Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness
― Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness
“Cephalopods are an island of mental complexity in the sea of invertebrate animals. Because our most recent common ancestor was so simple and lies so far back, cephalopods are an independent experiment in the evolution of large brains and complex behavior. If we can make contact with cephalopods as sentient beings, it is not because of a shared history, not because of kinship, but because evolution built minds twice over.”
― Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness
― Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness
“Mischief and craft are plainly seen to be characteristics of this creature. —Claudius Aelianus, third century A.D., writing about the octopus”
