Clever girl ... no, really.

It turns out that some birds are just as smart as—and possibly smarter than—primates with larger brains. A new study shows that compared to mammals, bird brain tissue packs in much more smarts per ounce. Many much. More smarts. This mammal is struggling with his grammar :) In any case, check out the article below! 

So what does this mean for dinosaurs? It’s currently unclear whether birds inherited this brain structure from their saurian ancestors, or whether they developed it to reduce weight in flight. If we find that they did inherit the trait from their maniraptoran forebears, however, then it will be time to rethink entirely what dinosaurs were capable of.
