Ape Atlas Unifies 18 Years of Cognition Data to Trace Human Intelligence

Researchers released EVApeCognition, the largest open-access dataset of great-ape cognition, compiling 262 datasets from 150 publications over 18 years (2001–2020) to enable cross-study analyses, data standardization across nearly 100 institutions and 81 apes, and new insights into the evolution of human intelligence; published in Nature (April 2026) with a GitHub data repository to support education, meta-analyses, and AI research.

"Crows' Surprising Statistical Logic Unveiled in Groundbreaking Research"

A new study from the University of Tübingen reveals that crows can perform statistical reasoning, marking the first time this ability has been observed in the species. Researchers trained crows to associate images with distinct reward probabilities, demonstrating their ability to understand and apply statistical logic. These findings contribute to our understanding of animal intelligence and the evolution of cognitive abilities.
