Die Suche nach einem tierischen Bewußtsein beruht auf eingehenden Verhaltensbeobachtungen und ausgeklügelten Experimenten, mit denen die Forscher die Denkfähigkeit der Tiere auf die Probe stellen. Doch Vorsicht! Überall liegen 'geistige Fallstricke' und drohen Selbsttäuschungen. Zu welchen verblüffenden Ergebnissen die Forscher dennoch kommen, zeigt dieses einfühlsam und unterhaltsam geschriebene Buch. Fast nebenbei vermittelt es eine Menge über eigenes Denken.
