Photograph of an elephant. In this edition of Ideas learn about a new study which has uncovered the mysterious burial of elephant calves in Indian tea plantations, raising the question: could elephant graveyards be real after all? In her latest essay, philosopher Susana Monsó explores what these findings reveal about elephants’ remarkable understanding of death.

You might have heard that psychology has a WEIRD problem. Though it aims to understand human minds, many of its studies have historically been skewed towards WEIRD minds.
In this 🚨NEW PAPER🚨, @kristinandrews.bsky.social and I argue that comparative cognition also has a WEIRD problem. 👇🧵 1/17
