| Summary/Abstract |
Starting with a mention of organisms that have no brains, like jellyfish, Ehrlich moves on to consider animals with simple brains (worms, mosquitoes) that use instinct to guide them. Bigger animals with more complex cerebral activity–and what that means–are also discussed. The author then explains how humans are capable of learning, thinking, pondering, feeling, and guiding, thus making our brains the best. The author points out that all animals have a brain that is just perfect for them and their environments. The lengthy text alternates with amusing verses. Haley's cartoon caricatures contribute to the humor.
