Der Mensch im Tier

Mammals grieve and they deceive; they are empathetic, often learning and communicating at a high level. They experience joy and frustration - with the same reactions of body and brain as we humans do. Animals have personalities. What really sets us apart from them? And what can we learn from them? Norbert Sachser, one of the world's leading animal behavior researchers, describes and explains a revolution in our understanding of animals. We learn how dogs show empathy, how mice escape Alzheimer’s, how guinea pigs avoid social stress, and what remarkable cognitive and emotional abilities great apes, elephants, or dolphins possess.
