Críticas
"'The volume's most notable contribution is that it brings together a collection of studies on a wide range of species and topics... Credit is due to de Waal and Tyack for putting together this book... It should be of interest to anyone curious about animal behaviour.' - Jessica Flack, Times Higher Education Supplement"
Reseña del editor
For over 25 years, primatologists have speculated that intelligence, at least in monkeys and apes, evolved as an adaptation to the complicated social milieu of hard-won friendships and bitterly contested rivalries. Yet the balkanization of animal research has prevented us from studying the same problem in other large-brained, long-lived animals, such as hyenas and elephants, bats and sperm whales. The editors argue that future research into complex animal societies and intelligence will change the perception of animals as gene machines, programmed to act in particular ways and perhaps elevate them to a status much closer to our own.
