About this ebook
Smartest Creatures explores the fascinating realm of animal cognition, questioning the notion that complex thought is exclusive to humans. Delving into the cognitive abilities of dolphins, chimpanzees, crows, and octopuses, the book reveals how these animals exhibit intelligence through tool use, intricate social structures, and problem-solving skills. For instance, dolphins possess complex communication systems and self-awareness, while crows demonstrate remarkable problem-solving abilities.
The book begins by outlining the principles of animal cognition research and then dedicates chapters to each of the selected species, detailing their unique cognitive strengths. By adopting a comparative approach, Smartest Creatures highlights both the commonalities and differences in intellectual strategies across these distantly related species.
Ultimately, the book challenges anthropocentric views and broadens our understanding of intelligence as a diverse phenomenon shaped by evolution and comparative cognition.
