• Resumen

  • The article looks at the smartness of animals. Topics covered include the arrival of the book "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" by primatologist Frans de Waal, the suggestion by de Waal to test animals based on their specialized skills instead of on abilities that humans are particularly good at, and his preference for the term "evolutionary cognition" instead of "animal intelligence" for his field of study.
