The intelligence revolution

You know how to think quickly, connect ideas that others don't see, and sense that something is wrong in the world as it is described to you. And perhaps you have already taken a general intelligence test. But what you call your intelligence may be just one aspect of a much larger — and much stranger — phenomenon. From fungi that solve mazes, to ants that optimise their actions without centralised direction, trees that communicate underground via other species: life sciences can help us improve our understanding of what intelligence is, and this change in perspective will contribute to the paradigm shift that is currently underway.
