Brilliant' Guardian Fascinating & often delightful' The Times SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE What if intelligent life on Earth evolved not once but twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien What can we learn from the encounter? In Other Minds Peter Godfrey-Smith a distinguished philosopher of science & a skilled scuba diver tells a bold new story of how nature became aware of itself
- a story that largely occurs in the ocean where animals first appeared Tracking the mind's fitful development from unruly clumps of seaborne cells to the first evolved nervous systems in ancient relatives of jellyfish he explores the incredible evolutionary journey of the cephalopods which began as inconspicuous molluscs who would later abandon their shells to rise above the ocean floor searching for prey & acquiring the greater intelligence needed to do so
- a journey completely independent from the route that mammals & birds would later take But what kind of intelligence do cephalopods possess? How did the octopus a solitary creature with little social life become so smart? What is it like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually think for themselves'? By tracing the question of inner life back to its roots & comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives Godfrey-Smith casts crucial new light on the octopus mind
- & on our own
