Despite stemming from phylogenetic lineages separated by 500 million years of evolution, octopuses and humans surprisingly have a lot in common. Of all the marine creatures, octopuses are extremely cognitively sophisticated and are capable of basic reasoning and learning. For example, a study in 2003 demonstrated that octopuses could learn how to crew off the
