Humans have screwed up the world beyond what they are capable of repairing. In an act of desperation to mitigate the damage, they decide to genetically modify ravens. Why ravens? They have a similar intelligence to chimps and orangutans, great apes that have significantly larger brains. If the great apes currently running the world cannot solve the problem, then maybe another source of brilliance will guide humans from devastation.

The ravens are given longer life spans, larger bodies, and of course, proportionately sized brains. To allow the ravens to sustain their own culture and ideals, they are nurtured by non genetically modified raven parents but are taught about the human world by human teachers. Raised in secluded fields, jungles, and forests, they are brought up to speed on human technology and advances as they grow up.

As the first generation genetically modified ravens reach maturity and are having their own offspring, human leaders are reluctant to transition to leading with them side by side.

In the hippocampus, they typically play a key role in plasticity, processing, and encoding of information. They are also located in the cerebellum as well. I will probably post more about them as there is a ton to cover!
