Senses of Animals Lecture at Edinburgh Philosophical Institute
Sir John Lubbock presented experiments on animal sense at the Philosophical Institute in Edinburgh. He described teaching a dog with labeled cards to distinguish words and colors, noting limited human knowledge of animal minds and that insects perceive color and sound differently from humans. He also mentioned bees and ants hearing beyond human range and insects’ vision, with a final financial note about Arkansas City contributing over $14,000 to the treasury on outstanding debts.
