Will octopus take over the world?

Although human technology is very developed, our understanding of octopuses is still superficial. Octopuses still have a strong sense of mystery to us, but it is certain that octopuses will never evolve into civilization, and will never be able to surpass humans. There are four reasons for the inability to surpass humans.

1. Octopuses live too short

Lifespan is the key to biological reproduction and the core issue of biological evolution because only living can create civilization, but lifespan is a fatal flaw for octopuses, which prevents octopuses from exerting greater potential. And it also makes Octopuses that can never be at the top of the food chain.

Because the lifespan of octopuses is only 3 years, no more than 4 years at most, maybe only the lifespan of deep-sea octopuses is slightly longer. And octopuses have poor adaptability to the environment. Once the water temperature is lower than 7 degrees, they will die, which extremely restricts the growth of octopuses.

Not only that, but once an octopus spawns, it will die. It can be said that spawning is a watershed in the life of an octopus, and an octopus can only produce once in a lifetime, and this time is a farewell. The most important thing is its life is so short that the octopus cannot pass knowledge to the next generation, the knowledge accumulated by oneself will die out directly.

2. Octopuses are solitary animals

Although octopuses are widely distributed all over the world, they do not like to live in groups. Although they have high IQs, each octopus is a loner. Therefore, the entire group has no social interaction and cannot accumulate knowledge like humans, and pass it on. It can not learn useful lessons from other octopuses.

It can be said that every octopus has to explore the world from nothing after birth, grow and die alone, until one day it is praised by humans as "how delicious", so this kind of animal with a very low degree of socialization can't surpass humans.

3. Octopuses can never get out of the ocean

As we all know, the IQ of mammals on land animals is much higher than that of other animals, because only land can create better "intelligence". Although the IQ of octopuses is also very high, it is at most similar to that of chimpanzees.

And even human beings formed civilization after leaving the ocean, and it is difficult for cephalopods like octopuses to get out of the ocean. After all, just maintaining daily activities requires a lot of oxygen. Due to the function of octopuses, it is difficult to support them to do more things.

4. For humans, octopus is just an ordinary delicacy

Octopuses have many things that humans can't understand, such as they like to crawl into small spaces, especially small containers such as wine bottles and crock pots, but this also allows humans to easily capture and eat them. After all, the ordinary octopus has poor fighting ability, it tastes very delicious and is rich in protein. The most important thing is that the price of octopus is not too expensive, so it often becomes a delicacy on our table.

In summary: Although octopuses are mollusks, their ability to change color and imitation is extremely strong, and they can use tools proficiently, and even have a certain "logical" ability, so octopuses have a very high IQ.

And the peculiar body structure of octopuses makes many scientists think that they are not earth creatures. Because people's cognition of octopuses is still very shallow, so the research is not thorough, but the only certainty is that octopuses will never evolve into civilization and surpass human beings.
