OverviewAn exploration of one of the greatest remaining biological mysteries: the possibility of conscious experiences in non-human animals. Dawkins argues that the idea of consciousness in other species has now progressed from a vague possibility to a plausible, scientifically respectable view. Written in an accessible style, this book aims to show how near - and how far - we are to understanding what goes on in the minds of other animals. The book should be of interest to the general public and academic readers. It is aimed at anyone who has ever wondered about the phenomenon of conscious experience in humans and other animals.
