### Interview, Book Signing, and Reception

Primatologist Frans de Waal has written a groundbreaking work that makes us rethink everything we know about animals. Based on research on species ranging from crows to elephants, he will reveal how intelligent animals really are and how much we underestimate their abilities. Vicki Croke, *New York Times* bestselling author of *Elephant Company*, will moderate a discussion with de Waal.

Presented in collaboration with WBUR, Boston’s NPR news station and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

Reception supported by the Harvard Chapter of Sigma Xi
