How intelligent are dolphins? Is their communication system really
as complex as human language? And are they as friendly and peaceful
as they are made out to be? The Western world has had an enduring
love affair with dolphins since the early 1960s, with fanciful
claims of their 'healing powers' and 'super intelligence'. Myths
and pseudoscience abound on the subject. Justin Gregg weighs up the
claims made about dolphin intelligence and separates scientific
fact from fiction. He puts our knowledge about dolphin behaviour
and intelligence into perspective, with comparisons to scientific
studies of other animals, especially the crow family and great
apes. He gives fascinating accounts of the challenges of testing
what an animal with flippers and no facial expressions might be
animal behaviour, Gregg challenges many of the widespread beliefs
about dolphins, while also inspiring the reader with the remarkable
abilities common to many of the less glamorized animals around us -
such as chickens.
