Plant Behaviour and Intelligence
This book provides a convincing argument for the view that whole cells and whole plants growing in competitive wild conditions show aspects of plant behaviour that can be accurately described as 'intelligent'. The fact that plants do not have centralized nervous systems for example, does not exclude intelligent behaviour. Trewavas argues that behaviour, like intelligence, must be assessed within the constraints of the anatomical and physiological framework of the organism in question.
Thus, solving environmental problems that threaten to reduce fitness is another way of viewing intelligent behaviour and has a similar meaning to adaptively variable behaviour. Outside the human dimension, culture is thought largely absent and fitness is the biological property of value. The capacity to solve these problems might be considered to vary in different organisms, but variation does not mean
