Thinking About Animals Thinking

Do Animals Think?
By Clive D. L. Wynne. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2004. 288 pp. Cloth, $26.95.

This is a well-written book that is not only informative and well documented but also often witty and entertaining. It should be read by people interested in animal cognition, even though it does not deliver exactly what its title promises. Questions about animal cognition and consciousness have concerned human beings since the dawn of our species. To oversimplify a bit, there appear to be two camps with extreme views on the issue.
