In What Do Animals Think and Feel?, the biologist Karsten Brensing
has something astonishing to tell us about the animal kingdom:
namely that animals, by any reasonable assessment, have developed
the sophisticated systems of social organization and behaviour that
human beings call 'culture'. Dolphins call one another by name and
orcas inhabit a culture that is over 700,000 years old. Chimpanzees
wage strategic warfare, while bonobos delight in dirty talk. Ravens
enjoy snowboarding on snow-covered roofs, and snails like to spin
on hamster exercise wheels. Humped-back whales follow the dictates
of fashion and rats are dedicated party animals. Ants recognize
themselves in mirrors and spruce themselves up before they return
home. Ducklings can pass complicated tests in abstract thinking.
Dogs punish disloyalty, though they are also capable of forgiveness
if you apologize to them. Brensing draws on the latest scientific
findings as well as his own experience working with animals, to
reveal a world of behavioural and cognitive sophistication that is
remarkably similar to our own.
