The report by Kabadayi and Osvath (Science, 357(6347), 202-204, 2017) does not demonstrate planning in ravens. The behavior of corvids and apes is fascinating and will be best appreciated through well-designed experiments that explicitly test alternative explanations and that are interpreted without unjustified anthropomorphic embellishment.
卡巴达伊和奥斯瓦特的报告(《科学》,357(6347),202 - 204,2017年)并未证明乌鸦具有规划能力。鸦科动物和猿类的行为很有趣,通过精心设计的实验能得到最好的理解,这些实验要明确检验各种替代性解释,且在解释时不能有无根据的拟人化修饰。
