Outsider Animals
How the Creatures at the Margins of Our Lives Have the Most to Teach Us
Book • 2017
From one of our foremost experts on behavioral evolution, Outsider Animals challenges assumptions about unpopular creatures living near humans, like raccoons raiding trash, coyotes threatening pets, and gulls scavenging snacks.
Marlene Zuk explains how these animals reveal insights into coevolution with predators, the evolution of pregnancy via cockroaches, pollution effects through butterflies, and rethinking invasive species with cowbirds and mynas.
With humor and curiosity, the book urges reflection on our relationships with these adaptable beings and the lessons from their complex behaviors on our crowded planet.
