FLYING

While we learned to walk upright, the birds perfected their flight. They developed a sophisticated neural architecture, capable of drawing complex mental maps from the air. For example, many species can remember places they have visited before with cartographic precision, recalling the exact distance to their destination, and the specific direction they are headed in. The particular specimen that inspired this design is capable of burying its seeds in 30,000 different hiding spots, and recovering them –one by one– much later. It is clear that each has evolved in its own special way. How could you forget this Maxi earring at home now?
