What Animals Really Think?
Over the years, I have written extensively about
animal-intelligence experiments and the controversy
that surrounds them. Do animals really have thoughts,
what we call consciousness? Wondering whether there
might be better ways to explore animal intelligence
than experiments designed to teach human signs, I
realized what now seems obvious: if animals can think,
they will probably do their best thinking when it serves
their own purposes, not when scientists ask them to.
