We've learnt a bunch about intelligence and communication in the past
decade. It currently appears omnivores have a slight edge, though seed
eaters and frugivores are up there too. Specialists be they carnivore or
herbivore can get a ways down the track, but can get 'trapped' by the
same pressures that saw them specialise in the first place.
