If octopi could live up to 20 years of age and have several births,if they can teach their young , we would be seeing another intelligent civilization in earth. It lead me to wonder are there ancient ancestors of octopi that are more intelligent or lives longer than octopi? Are there deep ocean unknown species of octopi exist hundreds of millions years ago and if they have a civilization Will we ever know since octopi rarely leave fossil due to their soft,boneless bodies? What if octopi were just less intelligence species of something more intelligent - like difference between chimps vs human?
Maybe octopi are Best candidate for Silurian hypothesis?
