Comparative Vertebrate Cognition Are Primates Superior to Non-Primates?

From the reviews: "Are primates superior? ! Comparative Vertebrate Cognition aims to answer this question or at least to consider and draw attention to what we know so far and assess the new research directions that are required so that we can answer the question in the future. ! Overall Comparative Vertebrate Cognition is a very enlightening and timely book. It is an interesting and thought-provoking attempt to draw attention to an area that is still in the early stages of its rise to scientific popularity ! ." (Lucy Bates, Primate Eye, February, 2006) "It is high time for primatologists to broaden their horizons in terms of learning about other animals ! . the editors provide a brief history of primatology and lay out their motivation for assembling this book. Rogers and Kaplan suggest that primates have been declared to be 'special' mainly as a political move ! . the book has opened some doors and will certainly promote the exchange of ideas by scholars studying the cognitive abilities of a variety of taxa."
