- catalog abstract ""In this investigation, Wise explores the intelligence and abilities of animals across the evolutionary spectrum - from his own son and other intelligent primates to dolphins, elephants, parrots, dogs - even honeybees. The law has criteria for personhood, and by studying and often witnessing the latest research by leading experts in animal intelligence, Wise shows how at least some creatures clearly meet those criteria." "Wise's investigations are far-reaching in their implications for the legal rights of animals. Beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, Cynthia Moss shows him the affectionate antics of elephant families. He tracks chimpanzees with Richard Wrangham near Uganda's Mountains of the Moon, converses with Irene Pepperburg and Alex, the African Grey parrot who is learning to spell at MIT, and signs with Penny Patterson and Koko the gorilla in their California sanctuary. Atop the headlands of Monterey Bay, he watches Rocky the sea lion demonstrate her understanding of abstract concepts, while back at home he observes one of the least understood of fellow creatures, Marbury his dog."--Jacket.".
