| | What is this octopus thinking? |
 | | Cephalopods are not much like us in their body plans or their lives. | | | Most researchers agree that understanding cephalopod psychology is going to a require a thoroughly rigorous approach. | | | Instead, she has developed an apparatus to study cephalopod spatial learning, the means by which animals find their way by remembering landmarks or the distance they have travelled. |

| | The basic cephalopod body plan consists of a body, head, and foot. | | | The resemblance to the human eye results from convergent evolution—human and cephalopod eyes, although similar in structure and function, arose independently, and not through a common ancestor. | | | Two large optic lobes in the squid brain testify to the importance of vision for locating prey. |

| | Cephalopods are highly evolved animals in terms of structure and physiology, and the complexity of their behavior is equal to that of fish. | | | Digestion in cephalopods is rapid, and the circulatory and reproductive systems are well developed. | | | The remaining primitive cephalopod, the nautilus, retains many archaic traits, such as an external shell with gas-filled chambers that aid flotation. |

| | Jaron Lanier, in a talk I saw him give a few months back, suggested that the only reason cephalopods don't dominate the planet is that they don't pass along learned behaviors to their young through acculturation (as do primates). | | | Cephalopods such as squids and octopus have remarkably sophisticated brains, and are able to solve complex puzzles. | | | The researchers claim that the global biomass of squid now exceeds that of humans. |

| | Although unusually large, they seem to work along fundamentally different lines from those of primates, like ourselves. | | | Much processing in the cephalopod nervous system appears to be done in ganglia distributed around the body. | | | Part of the reason for this is that these creatures communicate via fast-changing patterns of body color for which a distributed processing network is essential. |
