Tool-using behavior of the California Sea Otter

卡尔·萨芬纳: 动物有怎样的思想和感知？

动物有怎样的思想和感知？

动物的大脑中都在想些什么？我们能知道它们是否在思考和感觉，或是它们在思考和感觉着什么吗？卡尔·萨芬纳认为我们可以。通过关于生态学、生物学和行为科学的探索和奇闻轶事，他给我们讲了一些鲸鱼、狼、大象和信天翁的故事，论证了在这个地球上和我们为伴的其他生物，其实和我们一样思考、感知、使用工具和表达情绪。

Other creatures possess minds and emotions that closely mirror our own, from anxious crayfish to elephants who recognize the voices of friendly and threatening humans. Sea otters teach their young, dolphins perceive art, and albatrosses cross thousands of miles for a single act of care. Our shared evolutionary roots and brain structures reveal a deep kinship often ignored. The way we treat animals reveals more about human nature than it does about theirs.
