Comparisons of minds usually place species on a single scale and so force a biased ranking. This essay proposes instead that minds differ in shape: in how broadly they take in the world, how far their self-models build on one another, and where they put thought once it is formed. Humans store thought in writing, an archive that compounds across time but strips away perspective. Toothed whales...

This empirical...
