Jon Mooallem - New York Times Book ReviewĪ thoughtful and easy read, packed with information stemming from detailed empirical research, and one of de Waal’s most comparative works that goes well beyond the world of nonhuman primates with whom he’s most familiar.Ī beautifully written and delightfully conceived popular science book, written by an eminent researcher who has dedicated his career to making the general public aware of just how smart animals are. Walks us through research revealing what a wide range of animal species are actually capable of…t all deals a pretty fierce wallop to our sense of specialness. The book is not only full of information and thought-provoking, it’s also a lot of fun to read.Īstonishing…has the makings of a classic-and is one fascinating read.
