E18: Dolphin intelligence - confirming the mind in the water
 This week we speak with Dr Lori Marino, Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology at Emory University in the United States, about her fascinating research into intelligence in dolphins.
The implications of her important and ground-breaking research are huge and confirm that dolphins are highly intelligent, highly social and highly complex animals with self awareness, societies and cultural traditions and that we humans must learn to treat with respect and sensitivity.
Indeed to quote Lori “the primate way is not the only way to be intelligent!”
