FROM WORLD-RENOWNED BIOLOGIST AND PRIMATOLOGIST FRANS DE WAAL, a
groundbreaking work which challenges everything we think we know
about animal intelligence What separates your mind from the mind of
an animal? Maybe you think it's your ability to design tools, your
sense of self, or your grasp of past and future - all traits that
have helped us define ourselves as the pre-eminent species on
Earth. But in recent decades, claims of human superiority have been
eroded by a revolution in the study of animal cognition. Take the
way octopuses use coconut shells as tools, or how elephants can
classify humans by age, gender, and language. Take Ayumu, the young
male chimpanzee at Kyoto University who demonstrates his species'
exceptional photographic memory. Based on research on a range of
animals, including crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats,
whales, and, of course, chimpanzees and bonobos, Frans de Waal
explores the scope and depth of animal intelligence, revealing how
we have grossly underestimated non-human brains. He overturns the
view of animals as stimulus-response beings and opens our eyes to
their complex and intricate minds. With astonishing stories of
animal cognition, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals
Are? challenges everything you thought you knew about animal - and
human - intelligence.
