Planta Sapiens. De ontdekking von Plantenintelligentie. 2024. 304 p.Paper bd. - In Dutch.

Planta Sapiens takes us into a new field of science: plant neurobiology. Plants have cells that send and receive electrical signals. These cells actually function as neurons and enable plants to solve complex problems.

So are plants conscious? Yes, they are. Do they have memories? Yes, they do! They have their own form of intelligence, which has so far been neglected. Plants can plan ahead, learn, recognize family members, assess risks, and make decisions. They can even be put to sleep.

In this book, plant researcher and philosopher Paco Calvo tells us about his groundbreaking research into plant consciousness. He tells us about remarkable experiments in which plants display equally remarkable behavior.
