Don't Underestimate Animal Intelligence
Frans de Waal, director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, professor of primate behavior at Emory University and author of many books, including Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? (W. W. Norton & Company, 2016), explains why we humans shouldn’t underestimate how smart animals really are – and not just chimpanzees, but moths and crows too!

@BrianLehrer@TEDTalks Yeah, right. A monkey once swiped my half-finished banana, ran up a tree, and smugly enjoyed it while I watched.

PS: I new Brian was in the bag for monkeys.
