核心要点
A Scientist, a Parrot, and a Revolution
In September 2007, a one-pound African Grey parrot died unexpectedly, and the world mourned. The New York Times eulogized him. Nature published tributes. Major networks covered his passing. Thousands of strangers sent condolences. Why such grief for a bird? Because Alex had spent thirty years shattering everything science believed about animal minds. He could count, understand zero, create new words, and grasp abstract concepts like "same" and "different"-feats supposedly impossible for a creature whose brain was the size of a walnut. His work with scientist Irene Pepperberg didn't just advance our understanding of parrots. It forced us to reconsider the nature of intelligence itself and where humans truly stand in the hierarchy of consciousness.
