- Default Title
Description
Ambridge has a trickster's charm of "How did he do that?" presentation and a stage magician's "Hey presto!" delight in revelation.' The Times Animal science is bizarre and wonderful. At the extreme end of zoology, psychologists are talking to dolphins, designing personality tests for dogs and asking cockatoos to keep a beat. Now, through dozens of interactive puzzles, IQ tests and quizzes, Professor Ben Ambridge's Are You Smarter Than A Chimpanzee? lets you test yourself against the best nature has to offer. So: are you more than a match for a marmoset? Or a bit of a birdbrain? 'When it comes to intelligence, we humans usually place ourselves at the top of the evolutionary hierarchy. But as psychologist Ben Ambridge points out in his new book, our animal cousins can often give us a run for our money.' BBC Focus 'Delightful ... Ambridge uses a great deal of British wit to further our understanding of who we are by fleshing out our connections to other inhabitants of the animal kingdom.' Tom Gilovich, author of The Wisest One In The Room 'One of the most interesting books we've read all year ... intelligently and humorously written, this is a fun read.' How It Works
