The Infinite Monkey Cage

Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined on stage by comedian and author Danny Wallace, Ornithologist Professor Tim Birkhead and marine biologist Helen Scales to look at animal intelligence. We have all heard about clever chimps that can count, and the comparisons between the great apes and human intelligence - but have we underestimated many of the other animal species? It would seem so, with remarkable examples of cunning, smart behaviour from animals as diverse as birds, octopuses and even fish. So how do you test a guppies IQ and can a crow really outsmart a gorilla, or even a human... prepare to be amazed.
