• Resumen

  • Newly hatched turtles head straight for the sea and tadpoles recognize a predatory salamander the very first time they see one. But what may, on the surface, appear to be a primordial instinct can sometimes hide a deeper, stranger truth: that their first lessons in life come before birth itself. Over the years, studies of young animals belonging to a range of species have pushed back the known onset of learning. Here, Lewy discusses how fetuses of all species take in an incredible array of things before they are born.
