Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the fascinating world of animal intelligence, sparked by the extraordinary case of Clever Hans, a horse that seemingly possessed the ability to solve complex arithmetic problems. The author meticulously recounts the controversy surrounding Hans, who became a sensation in Germany, drawing the attention of scientists, scholars, and the general public alike. The book explores the debate that ensued regarding the horse's abilities, ranging from the possibility of genuine animal thought to allegations of trickery and manipulation. Through detailed descriptions of the experiments conducted to test Hans's capabilities, the author reveals the remarkable depth of the horse's sensory perception and its capacity for learning and memory. Ultimately, the book offers a revealing insight into the limitations of human understanding of animal cognition and the complex interplay between perception, behavior, and conscious thought. This book remains a groundbreaking testament to the enduring mystery of animal consciousness and its implications for human understanding of the natural world.
