outils ou la conscience de soi pour citer des traits qui ont longtemps servi à nous définir comme l'espèce dominante de la planète. Dirons-nous que nous sommes plus stupides qu'un écureuil parce que nous sommes moins aptes à nous souvenir des caches de centaines de glands enterrés ? Ou que nous avons une perception de notre environnement plus fine qu'une chauve-souris dotée de lécholocalisation ? De Waal retrace l'ascension et la chute de la vision mécaniste des animaux et ouvre notre esprit à l'idée d'un esprit animal bien plus raffiné et complexe que nous ne l'imaginions Frans de Waal nous emmène à la découverte de pieuvres qui se servent de coques de noix de coco comme outils ; déléphants qui classent les humains selon lâge, le sexe et la langue ; ou dAyumu, jeune chimpanzé mâle dont la mémoire fulgurante humilie celle des humains. Sur la base de travaux de recherche effectués avec des corbeaux, des dauphins, des perroquets, des moutons, des guêpes, des chauves-souris, des baleines et, bien sûr, des chimpanzés et des bonobos, Frans de Waal explore létendue et la profondeur de lintelligence animale. Il révèle à quel point les animaux sont en réalité intelligents et à quel point, trop longtemps, nous avons sous-estimé leurs aptitudes. 2016.
