Surprising New Findings: This Is What Actually Connects Us To Octopus

Surprising new discoveries: this is what really connects us to Octopus

Animals with sophisticated neurological systems, such as cephalopods like octopus, squid, and cuttlefish, are extremely intelligent. In “Science Advances”, a team from the Max Delbrück Center led by Nikolaus Rajewsky demonstrated that their development is linked to a huge increase in the number of microRNAs they have. If we go far enough back in evolution, …
