Beschreibung:
Janet Mann is professor of biology and psychology at Georgetown University. She is coeditor of Cetacean Societies: Field Studies of Dolphins and Whales, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
We know whales, dolphins, and porpoises are the smartest creatures in the ocean, we read of their tool use, their self-recognition, their complex songs, and their intricate societies--but how do we know what we know? Deep Thinkers brings together the top researchers in the field to examine cetacean brains; compare the intelligence markers of cetaceans with those of birds, bats, and primates; and ask how we define intelligence in non-humans. A comprehensive exploration, setting the benchmark for future titles.
