npr | In his latest piece for The New Yorker,
Michael Pollan discusses the scientific controversy regarding the field
of "plant neurobiology," and whether plant intelligence exists. Some
plants, he writes, can hear caterpillars chomping on a neighbor's
leaves. Others display altruistic behavior towards kin, restraining
their growth to allow relatives to thrive. But is any of that evidence
of intelligence?
