"Animal Life and Intelligence" by C. Lloyd Morgan is a scientific examination that investigates the essential features of animal life and the nature of animal intelligence by analyzing evolution, instincts, and the differences between humans and animals. The book begins by looking at what makes animals unique, using the observations of young students to frame ideas like movement, growth, and reproduction, then expanding these ideas into a wider view incorporating scholarly analysis. Morgan sets the stage for a detailed exploration of biology and behavior by accentuating characteristics like breathing and sensitivity. The text argues that an understanding of animal life depends on studying evolution and the complexities of behavior.
