so-soFor the most part, a pleasantly scattered approach.
Speculation, hedging and hey, look what nifty thing this cephalopod can do! Then discussing current knowledge on consciousness in humans, which, okay, but not what I was reading it for? Then back to that thing the octopus or cephalopod did and an associated theory. 1/2
Seems like the perfect candidate for a Jaws-style summer action-horror blockbuster. Just need some clueless tourists/incautious teens.
Aaaand now I'm picturing a French dessert with a Rolling Stones tongue sticking out of it. 🤦🏼♂️
“a continual electrical clamor, a symphony of tiny cellular fits“
A satisfying description of my thought process...😅
Bacterial cooperation = glowy squid safe from predators on moonlit nights.
I love Nature. ☺️

I'm not sure, but this is either the first book that got me into this area or one of the first. It's a fascinating look at the octopus, and Peter quickly became an auto-buy author for me.
pickThis book is packed with a lot of information about cephalopods, more than I ever even knew existed. A scientific look at the evolution of and future of octopuses and squid and nautiluses and others, but written in a very accessible format. Who knew they were so prolific and so ancient? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
