In this landmark work, renowned primatologist Frans de Waal shatters the notion that humans are the only truly intelligent beings. Diving into the fascinating cognitive abilities of creatures like crows, dolphins, and chimpanzees, de Waal reveals just how advanced animal minds can be - and how much we've underestimated them. From tool-using octopuses to elephants that can distinguish human languages, the book uncovers a world of surprising animal intelligence that will forever change how you see our fellow creatures.
