Might be an idea to link to the original Quanta article:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quantamagazine.org&#x2F;intelligence-evolved-at-least-twice-in-vertebrate-animals-20250407&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quantamagazine.org&#x2F;intelligence-evolved-at-least...</a>

I love how you can have articles with titles confidently claiming &quot;Intelligence on Earth Evolved Independently at Least Twice&quot;, stating it as if it&#x27;s fact, then immediately contradict themselves within the article by inserting weasel words like it &quot;likely&quot; happened, all based on an underlying paper that states that it&#x27;s &quot;unclear&quot; whether it evolved independently, claiming they have some amount of evidence for it, but that evidence is behind a paywall and thus I just have to trust a random online magazine &quot;journalist&quot; to interpret the paper and evidence for me. A+ effort for all involved.
