Elephant Intelligence: Studying a Mind That Evolved In Parallel to Our Own
Date: Thursday 25 April 2013
Time: 6.00-7.00pm, followed by a drinks reception
Venue: Portland Building, Portland Street, Portsmouth PO1 3AH
Elephants have a longstanding reputation for ‘intelligence’, but they are only distantly related to humans so any real similarity must have arisen in parallel. Recent research has revealed that elephant cognition does share several interesting features with our own; giving us clues to the original evolutionary pressures that shaped our minds.
