Crows can recognize geometric regularity

Does the idea that "only humans can recognize shapes" sounds ridicolously outdated? Its like "Science confirms animals feel pain".

The interesting part of this research is that baboons, while evolutionary closer to humans, fail to perform this task.

So scientists were thinking "hmm, maybe perception of geometric regularity is a unique skill to homo sapiens?". It turned out that crows can tell a square from trapezoids, too.
