Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? by Frans de WaalMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Written by one of those behind the famous "Not Fair" 'Grapes, Cucumbers and Monkey Morality' experiment, this is an enlightening overview of the author's career of encountering impressive congnition in apes, elephants, corvids and more. It confronts us by challenging the notion that we have a unique trait in our intelligence separating us from the animals. The book includes an extensive glossary, but I found the pages of outcome from ethological studies and experiments to be very plainly written for a popular audience.
