Montagu -- Modern whales, dolphins, and porpoises as challenges to our intelligence, by J.C. Lilly. Produced by Stephen Hutcheson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Dolphin in History" by Ashley Montagu and John Cunningham Lilly is a scientific publication written in the early 1960s. This work explores the history and intelligence of dolphins, combining contemporary research with classical literature to highlight the connections between humans and these remarkable mammals. The authors aim to rekindle appreciation for dolphins by examining their historical significance, intelligence, and the myths that surround them. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the dolphin, reflecting on both its biological classification and the rich tapestry of cultural narratives that have characterized human perceptions of these creatures. Montagu begins by discussing the historical loss of knowledge regarding dolphins and how stories from antiquity, often dismissed as mere myths, contain kernels of truth about their behavior and relationships with humans. The authors introduce various anecdotes and scientific observations that reveal dolphins’ friendly nature, intelligence, and their interactions with people, challenging readers to reconsider how they view these mammals and the myths that have shaped their legacy.
