The Dolphin

Episode 4 of 5

How did the dolphin get so smart? Chris Packham explores the origins of senses, brains and intelligence, in an evolutionary odyssey that ventures from ocean to land and back again.

How did the dolphin get so smart? Chris Packham dives into one of the biggest questions in nature - how intelligence itself evolved and how it arose in the extraordinary mind of the dolphin. Inside each one lies the result of a three-billion-year journey, from light-sensing cells to conscious thought.
