Probably true.

Possibly - but then probably only a first step, since extraterrestrial life is likely to be more different from terrestrial life, than the difference between humans and cetaceans.

I interpreted the title as "Can dolphins see into the future?!" which made me all excited.

But this was good, too.

This is a great ariticle! I would like to see how the "humans raised with dolphins" experiment turns out.

"Historically, humans have long reported an affinity with dolphins, including joint cooperative fisheries in ancient Rome and other interactions. A modern human-dolphin fishery still takes place in Laguna, Santa Catarina, Brazil."

There are places in the world where dolphins are utterly despised and hunted.

Also, there was a book about this.

We continually underestimate the cognative ability in animals.

first thing i thought of when i saw this article:
"So long and thanks for all the fish!"
=D

Hitchhiker's Guide Quote:

"Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."

I totally agree. I do a lot of surfing and scuba diving and my interactions with wild dolphins has me pretty convinced that they are the superior species. They have learned to exist with nature while still leading very comfortable lives.

thats all I could think about when I read the title.

I bet it turns out that humans drown easily.
