Wild Minds: What Animals Really Think - Hardcover

Do animals think? Can they count? Do they have emotions? Finally, WILD MINDS provides authoritative answers to these long-standing questions. Most books tend to present animals either as furry little humans or creatures that cannot think or feel at all. Marc Hauser examines animal thought without these biases. "At last, a penetrating, entertaining, and up-to-the-minute book on the minds of animals. WILD MINDS should fascinate anyone interested in the nature of mind and the nature of animals,including our own species" - Steven Pinker "In this important book, Marc Hauser addresses one of the most vexing questions of behavioural science" - E. O. Wilson
