The study of intelligence touches upon a broad range of topics from cognition, animal behavior, philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. Through lectures, discussions, and critical evaluation of opposing arguments, we will investigate the construct of intelligence from an evolutionary perspective. An understanding of animal intelligence also has important applications for understanding cognition in general, the design of robotic controls, investigating human health, conserving endangered species, development of artificial intelligence, and assuring animal welfare.
