Comparative Analysis of Intelligence and Problem-Solving Abilities in Corvids and Primates

Abstract: This paper explores the intelligence and problem-solving capabilities of corvids (family Corvidae, including crows, ravens, and magpies) and primates (order Primates, including monkeys, apes, and humans). By reviewing empirical studies, cognitive tests, and observed behaviours, this research aims to highlight the cognitive processes and adaptive strategies that these two groups employ. The research compares tool use, social learning, memory, and problem-solving skills, emphasizing the convergent evolution of intelligence. The findings are supported by data presented in tables and graphs to illustrate key points.
