In Are Dolphins Really Smart?, Justin Gregg delves into the long-standing myths surrounding dolphins, questioning their intelligence, social behavior, and communication abilities. Gregg examines the popular belief that dolphins are highly intelligent creatures with complex communication systems similar to human language, and challenges these claims using the latest scientific research in animal behavior.
By comparing dolphin intelligence with that of other animals, such as crows and great apes, Gregg provides an evidence-based analysis of dolphin behavior. He also explores the unique challenges of studying dolphin cognition, given their physical limitations—like flippers and a lack of facial expressions—and offers fascinating insights into what these creatures may be thinking.
This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of dolphin intelligence, ideal for anyone interested in learning more about these captivating animals and the scientific truth behind the myths.
