If they can learn a technique on one problem and then use that technique on a completely different problem based on some observation, then sure. Why not? Monke

If they can learn a technique on one problem and then use that technique on a completely different problem based on some observation, then sure. Why not? Monkeys, crows, ravens, octopuses and other animals have been shown to be able to do stuff like this. > but that is no reason to imply all animals can I don't think anyone was making the claim that all animals can. (In case you're not a native english speaker, GP said "all sorts of animals", which means "many different kinds of animals" and not "all animals")
