Synopsis
Explore how animals think and learn, and how their minds measure up to ours.
This classic work surveys the line between instinct and reason, arguing that many creatures show more flexible thinking than they are often given credit for. It gathers ideas from ancient and modern thinkers and pairs them with a wide range of animal examples to explore what counts as intelligence in the animal world. The book treats topics from how dogs communicate and cooperate with humans to how horses learn, remember, and sometimes resist training.
- See how animals demonstrate problem solving, memory, and social behavior through numerous anecdotes.
- Learn about the historical debate on whether animals possess reason or only instinct.
- Get a broad view of intelligence across species, including dogs, horses, birds, and other creatures.
- Understand how culture, training, and environment can shape animal responses and learning.
