In 1920, a Harvard scientist put rats in a water maze. It took 165 tries before they learned which exit was safe.
Thirty generations later, rats were solving the same maze in 20 tries. Rats on a different continent — with no connection to the original colony — started at 25.
The knowledge had spread. No one could explain how.
