A review by agnexperience
Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? by Frans de Waal

4.0

The answer is yes, kind of, but scientists seem to be a lot worse at this than regular people. I mean, the point of this book is that most of the anthropomorphising that we now do in everyday life is probably not THAT far fetched. However, science has chosen to make humans special and this has led to unnecessary self-aggrandizement. There are lots of examples of how the scientific method used to measure animals' intelligence was less than reasonable.

The book is well written and not too basic either.

Also, was reminded of my favourite video
