Publisher Description

Beautiful Minds explains how and why apes and dolphins are so distantly related yet so cognitively alike and what this teaches us about another large-brained mammal: Homo sapiens. Noting that apes and dolphins have had no common ancestor in nearly 100 million years, Bearzi and Stanford describe the parallel evolution that gave rise to their intelligence.

"Stanford and Bearzi, just as they say, "incorporate a respect and sense of stewardship" for the apes and dolphins they study. Both concepts are vividly addressed throughout this informative, eye-opening read."

    " This is a survey and speculation about the convergent evolution that produced arguably the brainiest creatures on the planet. It is well worth reading. "

    " Interesting book although I think it could have been shorter. Worth reading for sure if you are interested in the big brained animals of this earth and about the present research being done. "
