    Love the intelligence of these birds. To have a strict childminder really displays their thought processes.

    • @nickdouglas736
      @nickdouglas736 2 года назад +81

      This is less of a thought process and more of an evolutionary advantage that became instinctive behaviour.
      As far as birds go Penguins aren't on the smart side.

    • @AlbertaRose94
      @AlbertaRose94 2 года назад +32

      They are also intelligent because they wait until the baby is the human equivalent of a preschooler to leave it with a childminder and it is not for long periods of time.

      @@nickdouglas736 While yes, in a relative sense, humans are more intelligent in terms of abstract thinking, adaptive capabilities, etc., etc., it's not like we can't say the same for us, as the vast majority of our behavior is also based on instinct guided by the 3+ billion base-pair code that is our DNA. Not that you're saying it's not the case.
      People like to think otherwise, because the alternative is an uneasy concept, and there's a deeper question of the space "free-will" has, if any, owing to our pervading sense of consciousness, but the evidence is honestly pretty (and perhaps depressingly) overwhelming in terms of showing how much of our behavior, emotions, and yes - even seemingly complex societal or cultural struggles - are just the result of instinctive behaviors due to evolutionary advantages that brought us to being the clearly dominant species and so-called "apex predator" on Earth.
      I mean, honestly, sure they're being anthropomorphized quite a bit by the narration, but you can even still see, albeit in a much simpler way, analogs to many social and developmental behaviors of humans in this clip, and they're still a lot more advanced than the majority of species on Earth.
