进化背景下的头足类动物认知：对动物行为学的影响
作者：
Joseph J. Vitti
动物王国中认知能力的分布是什么？假设智力的变化在任何地方都是倾斜的，这将是平等主义的，但是检查主要系统发育群体之间的趋势，很容易区分高性能的“通才”-其行为表现出领域灵活性-从“专家”，其行为范围有限，生态特异性。这些多面手包括哺乳动物、鸟类，有趣的是，还有头足类。鞘翅目头足类动物（鱿鱼、章鱼和乌贼）的明显智力令人惊讶--也与人类的进化有关--因为我们有独立的进化谱系：脊椎动物和头足类动物之间最近的共同祖先应该是一种小型蠕虫状生物，其神经系统没有任何主要的组织结构。通过识别这些生物和脊椎动物之间的认知相似性，我们可以开始推导出智力作为一种生物现象的一些一般原则。在这里，我讨论了头足类动物的行为和周围的理论的趋势，并建议他们的意义，我们的理解域一般认知及其演变。
What is the distribution of cognitive ability within the animal kingdom? It would be egalitarian to assume that variation in intelligence is everywhere clinal, but examining trends among major phylogenetic groups, it becomes easy to distinguish high-performing ‘generalists’ – whose behavior exhibits domain-flexibility – from ‘specialists’ whose range of behavior is limited and ecologically specific. These generalists include mammals, birds, and, intriguingly, cephalopods. The apparent intelligence of coleoid cephalopods (squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish) is surprising – and philosophically relevant – because of our independent evolutionary lineages: the most recent common ancestor between vertebrates and cephalopods would have been a small wormlike organism, without any major organizational structure to its nervous system. By identifying the cognitive similarities between these organisms and vertebrates, we can begin to derive some general principles of intelligence as a biological phenomenon. Here, I discuss trends in cephalopod behavior and surrounding theory, and suggest their significance for our understanding of domain-general cognition and its evolution.
