Book Summary

Thinking Like a Dolphin (featured in the May 2015 issue of National Geographic Society) is a science article that explores the intelligence, behavior, and communication abilities of dolphins, presenting them as one of the most cognitively advanced animals on Earth. Written by Joshua Foer, the article examines decades of research by marine scientists who study dolphin social structures, language-like communication, and problem-solving skills. It highlights efforts to bridge communication between humans and dolphins, showing how these animals use complex sounds, cooperation, and even cultural learning within pods. The narrative emphasizes that dolphin intelligence is fundamentally different from human intelligence—almost like an “alien” mind—while encouraging readers to rethink how humans understand animal consciousness and the natural world.
