Welp. lmk when a scrub jay composes a goddamn symphony.
I'm just a speculation/idea guy. I'm much more interested in finding the key to why humans are so far advanced compared to any other animal when it comes to all the complex mind-business I mentioned before.
Even if it has nothing to do with the environment (which would be a pretty silly stance to take, being that we literally
come out of the environment) --- let's say that we let Scrub Jays evolve another few million years and they start inventing language, tools, music, etc.
Why would evolution lean towards those traits? Metaphysics aside, dealing strictly with DNA, the fundamental intelligence-basis for biology (that we know of as of yet), what is the purpose? WHAT IS IT ALL FOR, GUYS????
What is the DNA-based motive/evolutionary advantage/trigger that develops Math, Abstract Conceptualization, etc. (and, in particular interest to me, Music), compared to other animals?
Granted, birds "sing" (music), and birds "build" (bowers).
