An African gray parrot named Griffin recently showed off his superior memory skills when he beat 21 Harvard students in 12 out of 14 trials of a shell game successfully determining the correct location of the pom poms hidden under the cups. Griffin also competed against 21 children age 6-8 besting them in all 14 games. The results showed the researchers that the use of memory manipulation in both the humans and Griffin suggest that there may have been a common ancestor millions of years ago. With that thought in mind add in that birds are the closest living relative to the dinosaurs how is it that humans have made it this far?
