Human uniqueness takes another hit

Remember when humans were the only tool-using animal? I'm old enough that I do. Then we found out that chimps use tools. Oh, and seagulls. And crows.

Well, now we have amazing video of a mollusc using tools. What makes this even more impressive is that Amphioctopus individuals only live for up to 5 years. The individual seen is probably no more than two years old.

I think the only thing stopping the octopods from being the dominant animals on this planet is that parents never meet their offspring (dying after reproduction), which prevents the evolution of culture (in a non-social group like these).
