Description
Animal Architects explores how an animal's built environment reveals its mental capabilities. Starting with simple homes of solitary insects and progressing to complex structures, the authors examine the role of instinct, conditioning, cognitive maps, and planning in shaping animal behavior.
The book draws on the remarkable engineering feats found throughout the animal kingdom to shed new light on animals' behavioral abilities. By studying the structures they build, James and Carol Gould gain insight into the inner workings of their minds, offering a fresh perspective on animal intelligence.
