‘Are we Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?’

29 May'18

Frans de Waal explores both the scope and the depth of animal intelligence. He offers a firsthand account of how science has stood traditional behaviorism on its head by revealing how smart animals really are, and how we’ve underestimated their abilities for too long.
We’ll follow chimpanzees and bonobos, as well as crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats or whales.
Frans de Waal is head of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Atlanta, USA (EMORY University)
