New Study Reevaluates T. Rex Intelligence, Aligning Closer to Crocodile than Primate

Recent research challenges previous claims about T. rex's cognitive abilities, suggesting their brain structure and neuron count align more with reptiles like crocodiles.

A new study disputes earlier research suggesting T. rex might have had primate-like intelligence.
Researchers emphasize the need to consider multiple lines of evidence when assessing extinct species' intelligence.
Neuron counts, previously used to estimate intelligence, are now considered unreliable for such assessments.
Findings suggest T. rex's brain structure was more reptilian, with less complexity than previously thought.
The study encourages a reevaluation of dinosaur intelligence, highlighting the sophistication of reptilian cognition.
