Hauser is nothing if not reasonable. 'Wild Minds' is out now, and I
recommend it highly. His studies of rhesus monkeys and others are also
fascinating, and, yes, in the later parts of the book, he gives examples
of studies you can do at home with your pets.
He is also a 'friendly' scientist, in the Sagan/Feynman, and yes, Dennett
and Gould traditions- pleasant, personable, and warm, with a real
curiosity and verve for his work. Inspirational, maybe even. If you get a
chance to see him on a book tour or local lecture circuit, please do.
