«¿Los animales son inteligentes?» is an essay on ethology by Dominique Lestel, published by Editions le Pommier in paperback (63 pages, in French).
The essay starts from a simple question: are animals intelligent? It reviews why until the 20th century it was hard to recognize that they were not «bobos», what is meant by animal intelligence, how it is studied, and whether some species or certain individuals are smarter than others. It also questions to what extent it can be compared with human intelligence.
Original title: «Les animaux sont-ils intelligents ?». It is part of the Les Petites Pommes du Savoir collection (number 79).
Due to its brevity and popularizing style, it is a suitable introductory reading for young people aged 8 to 10 and for adults with no prior knowledge of ethology.
