This spider can analyze, plan, and solve problems that many adult humans would find difficult. Intelligence seems to come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, and all we needed to do to find out was to open our eyes wide and observe.

Measuring intelligence with absolute parameters is not difficult, it is impossible, because each species needs specific skills to which its intelligence has adapted in ways as diverse as the appearance of each living being. However, if we want to know how intelligent and skilled a species is at solving its specific problems, we can use the concept called cognition.

Cognition is the ability of a living being to use the information it perceives from its environment and the experience acquired through learning to then analyze and make decisions to solve a problem. Sometimes it includes the ability to think ahead, although this type of learned and calculated intelligence, that is, cognitive intelligence, is not always better than other older and more primitive types of intelligence.

On the other hand, a human being, who has 344,000 times more neurons, can solve this problem, although it was not easy. Curiously, if more ants arrive to help, they solve the problem practically without complications. In fact, the more ants help, the faster they solve it.

And if you do the same with humans, with the restriction of not talking to each other to reach an agreement, what happens is that they get more tangled up. Our intelligences are different. For this problem, ants have modular intelligence, which improves as more individuals are involved, while with humans it is the opposite. If we do not talk to each other to propose ideas and decide on a plan, which takes time, individual effort makes us idiots, and the more people are involved, the more confusion there is.

From today on, you won't see other animals in the same way. Prepare to be amazed.
