Hailed as a classic, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are explores the natural oddities & complexities of animal cognition in crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats, chimpanzees & bonobos. Reveals how smart animals really are, how we’ve under-estimated their abilities for so long. Did we know that octopuses use coconut shells as tools, elephants classify humans by gender & language, chimpanzee’s flash memory puts that of humans to shame. Fascinating & funny, Frans De Waal’s landmark work convinces us to re-think everything we thought we knew about animal & human intelligence.
