More in this vein. Frans De Wall is always interesting; I’ll be looking to get this new book.

I agree. Animals do some amazing things.

The problem here is that “reason” is a vague term. Some people will construe it in ways that make it uniquely human. Other folk take a broader view.

I don’t agree animals do amazing things. they are all on a low standard of intellect. There are all hardly different from each other. Only people are intelligent.
reason, whatever that is, is part of Gods universe. its God. People are made in gods image and so can reason too. Hmmm. Possibly what we call reason is judst adding up facts. thus it alwayus fails because we never get the facts right or would know if we did.
