Pet owners believe their pet fish, fish, or dog is genius. What is CAN FISH COUNT? It is because it reveals how common intelligence is in nature that is so fascinating. Brian Butterworth, a pioneering psychologist, describes the amazing numerical feats of many species, including primates, mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. Every species has an ability to count, whether it’s lions choosing to flee or fight, frogs trying to find mates, bees searching for food, fish deciding which shoal they should join, or jackdaws counting their friends when joining a mob. Although Homo Sapiens might think maths is their exclusive domain, this book shows us that all creatures share a deep-seated Darwinian ability understand the intrinsic language in our universe. This is a special kind of science book. It’s written by a world authority in his field, and it offers a revelatory narrative that changes how you see something you take for granted.
