What the Elephant Thinks (Anastasia Egorova)

Описание книги:

This book compiles the latest science on animal consciousness, emotion, and cognition — from mirror-self-recognizing cleaner fish to rats that rescue their kin. The author shows that self-awareness and feeling are not uniquely human, but part of an evolutionary spectrum in which octopuses, elephants, crabs, and even bumblebees have inner worlds unlike ours — raising urgent new ethical questions.
