Summary:
What separates your mind from that of an animal? Is it the ability to design tools; a sense of self; or the grasp of past and future? In recent decades these claims have eroded, or even been disproven outright, by a revolution in the study of animal cognition. Waal explores both the scope and the depth of animal intelligence, offering a firsthand account of how science has stood traditional behaviorism on its head by revealing how smart animals really are, and how we've underestimated their abilities for too long. Frans de Waal , the author of Our Inner Ape, is a psychology professor at Emory University's Psychology Department and a researcher at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
