Description
Can Fish Count? reveals how widespread intelligence is in nature. Pioneering psychologist Brian Butterworth describes the extraordinary numerical feats of various species, from primates and mammals to birds, reptiles, fish, and insects.
This book shows that every creature shares an ability to count, a deep-seated Darwinian understanding of mathematics. Homo Sapiens may think maths is our exclusive domain, but this narrative changes the way we perceive something we take for granted.
With anecdotally-rich and revelatory storytelling, Brian Butterworth's book explores the hidden genius of animals, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in science and nature.
