Can Fish Count?: What Animals Reveal About Our Uniquely Mathematical Minds

byBrian Butterworth

In Can Fish Count?, Brian Butterworth presents a science narrative centered on what Animals Reveal About Our Uniquely Mathematical Minds. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of mathematics and science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
