Great Science Books for the Little Ones inspire a love of science in your young reader! Age 5-8 years.Human beings have incredible brains which can do remarkable things, but Mother Nature continues to teach us more and more that other animals can also think, solve problems and even do mathematics. Come and discover some of the most intelligent animals in the world and learn a little more about each of them in this book.Children's stories provide a great context for learning science. In this children's book, you will learn who are the 10 of the smartest animals on Earth! The animal kingdom is full of species that have evolved over the course of time, just as humans have. Some of them are better known for their intelligence than others, and have the capacity to perform tasks just as well as people. Whether it's for their memory, object identification, adaptation, or communication, you'll find all the most talented animals here. Learn about the most intelligent animals that you can find in the four corners of the world!Being humans, however, we always believe that we are the smartest of the lot, but are we? Here, we present some of the cleverest creatures around and explain why they are more deeply intellectual than many humans.Researchers are concerned with learning mechanisms and other cognitive abilities - thinking, acquiring knowledge, sensory perception, memory and language. These are the thought processes which form the basis for what we experience and comprehend of the world around us.Dolphins can thus be said to have the potential for very high intelligence, but we can't measure this optimally. Dolphins come from a completely different world, in a way and have a language we can't fathom. Communication is definitely a great barrier in the understanding of animal behaviour."Dolphins are social mammals, capable of enjoying their lives. They form close bonds with other members of their group."Peter Singer""We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures. And nonhuman animals experience pain sensations just like we do. They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional. They too are capable of growth and adaptation. Like us, firsthand foremost, they are earthlings. And like us, they are surviving. Like us they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort. And like us they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive."Joaquin Phoenix"The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog."Mark Twain"There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness; we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all?"Jeffrey Kluger"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
