The article presents fascinating research challenging conventional notions of cognition by suggesting that even simple cells possess problem-solving capabilities akin to those observed in more complex organisms. This research, conducted by scientists at the University of Paris, highlights the remarkable adaptability and intelligence of single-celled organisms like yeast.

By demonstrating decision-making processes in these organisms, the study broadens our understanding of cognition beyond traditional brain-centric perspectives. This groundbreaking work not only sheds light on the fundamental mechanisms of problem-solving in living organisms but also underscores the interconnectedness and complexity of life at all levels.

Editor’s Note: If our cognitive capacities do not reside in the brain, where can they be found? How is it possible for intelligence to manifest in the physical, but it has no physical “home”?
