A small fish found in streams across Europe has a human-like ability to learn, British scientists reported.
The nine-spined stickleback could be the first animal to exhibit a key human social learning strategy that allows it to compare the behaviour of others to its own experience and make choices that lead it to better food supplies.
“Small fish may have small brains but they still have some surprising cognitive abilities,” said Jeremy Kendal of Durham University.
