People were storing grain long before they learned to domesticate crops, a new study indicates.

Rodents also store food without farming.

“The ability to store food.”

More important is to realize that it is thinking that leads to food storage.

Realizing that points immediately to the fact that many animal species have some ability to think.

Man might think best, but man cannot deny that other species think.
