Description
Discover the intriguing insights in Clive Wynne's groundbreaking book, 'Do Animals Think?', published by Princeton University Press. This 2006 trade paperback challenges prevalent myths about animal cognition, exploring whether animals possess the ability to think and reason like humans. Wynne, a noted animal expert, argues that while our furry companions showcase remarkable abilities, they do not comprehend the world in the same way we do.
