Drawing on the latest discoveries in psychology, neuroscience, and animal behaviour, Raihani shows how intelligence has evolved across the animal kingdom, and why ours became so distinctive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom elephants keeping vigil over their dead to ants counting their steps and chickadees remembering where they stored thousands of seeds, Raihani reveals how animals make sense of the world - and why their ways of doing so can seem so strange to us. Along the way, she overturns some of our most enduring myths, showing that even familiar behaviours can be produced by radically different minds. \u003ci\u003eThe Thinking Animal \u003c\/i\u003epresents a new understanding of intelligence - what we have in common with other species, and what truly sets us apart.\u003cbr\u003e________________________________________  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eTHE THINKING ANIMAL:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'The Thinking Animal \u003c\/i\u003eis consistently fascinating and utterly absorbing.
