Evolutionary biology Low‑importance

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Bias[edit]

This article appears biased. Generally most fish are not considered to be intelligent (There are some some species of fish that displays more intelligent behavior), because they lack a cerebral cortex. The article needs to be more balanced. 83.108.108.244 (talk) 21:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This seems to be more of a Guinness Book of Records for fish intelligence, not actually explaining the intelligence of fish. It would be like talking about human speed by discussing Mr. Bolt, rather than me. Me? Zombies would get me. 12.234.128.60 (talk) 15:04, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits[edit]

Two sections, "Play" and "Storage" have been added. These 2 behaviours are highly suspect as indicators of intelligence - the subject matter of this article. Did the authors of the research make this link to intelligence, otherwise this might be a case of WP:OR? I add that the edit was in good faith and I would hate to discourage the editor from contributing.__DrChrissy (talk) 15:13, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Brain section[edit]

I believe the brain section needs some careful editing and only the smallest of mentions in the lede. This is because the evidence for brain characteristics and intelligence is far from conclusive. "People have long been tempted to link brain size and cognition. The intuitive notion that a “big brain” means “more intelligent” was first threatened some time ago, when we discovered animals with larger brains than ours: elephants and whales. Sure as we were of humankind’s superior intelligence, we still felt the need to prevail, so we gamely parried: Perhaps it is the brain size relative to body size that makes our brains the biggest. Though humans come out well there, too, this measure is biased toward birds and other small animals that have relatively large brains for their bodies. After more deliberation, scientists finally offered up the so-called “encephalization quotient”: brain size relative to the expected brain size in related taxa. On top: humans. Phew.[1] published in December 2013.__DrChrissy (talk) 15:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
