[ExI] genetics

[William Flynn Wallace]

from Wikipedia - Very few species have passed the MSR test. Species that
have include the great apes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ape>, a
single Asiatic elephant <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_elephant>,
Rays <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_(fish)>, dolphins
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin>, orcas
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca>, the Eurasian magpie
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_magpie>, and the cleaner wrasse
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaner_wrasse>. A wide range of species has
been reported to fail the test, including several species of monkeys
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey>, giant pandas
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_panda>, and sea lions
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_lion>.[3]

Spike, I don't know the criterion for passing the mirror test.  Certainly
the puppy understands something, but also certainly does not have the
brains of the animals above.    bill w
