Description
Frans de Waal explores the scope and depth of animal intelligence in this thought-provoking book.
Recent decades have seen significant advances in our understanding of animal cognition, challenging traditional views of human superiority. From octopuses using coconut shells as tools to elephants classifying humans by age, gender, and language, de Waal reveals the complex and intricate minds of non-human brains.
With astonishing stories of animal cognition, this book overturns the view of animals as stimulus-response beings, opening our eyes to their remarkable abilities and challenging everything we thought we knew about animal - and human - intelligence.
