Making Contact: The Intelligence of Whales with James Nestor

Although we can’t understand the communication systems used by whales and dolphins, they are just as intelligent as humans, but in different ways.

Featuring James Nestor, author of Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and what the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves.
