About This Item
W. W. Norton & Company, 2017. Softcover. Like New. 5x1x8. Hailed as a classic, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? explores the oddities and complexities of animal cognitionâin crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats, chimpanzees, and bonobosâto reveal how smart animals really are, and how weâve underestimated their abilities for too long. Did you know that octopuses use coconut shells as tools, that elephants classify humans by gender and language, and that there is a young male chimpanzee at Kyoto University whose flash memory puts that of humans to shame? Fascinating, entertaining, and deeply informed, de Waalâs landmark work will convince you to rethink everything you thought you knew about animalâand humanâintelligence. 32 illustrations. Frans de Waal has been named one of Time magazineâs 100 Most Influential People. The author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?, among many other works, he is the C. H. Candler Professor in Emory Universityâs Psychology Department and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center.
