About this episode

This episode explores the differences between animal and human intelligence, focusing on cognitive abilities and self-recognition.

Research shows us that some animals are very intelligent. They can not only recognize abstract concepts - like when things are similar or different - but they'll recognize themselves in a mirror or a photo. The difference between animal and human intelligence is that humans not only can learn new subjects, but we can increase our overall intelligence, our IQ. Learn how.
