<<As the Nature article shows, bees also can engage in abstract thought. The creatures can "master abstract inter-relationships," specifically the cognitive concepts of "sameness" and "difference," Giurfa and his team report. Hence, "higher cognitive functions are not a privilege of vertebrates," that is, creatures with backbones and much more complex nervous systems.>>

<In other words, if bees -- with their relatively simple nervous systems -- can be so smart, then human intelligence might eventually be explained more easily than previously assumed.>
