Animate

In Animate, science writer Michael Bond delves into the profound influence of animals on human psychology and culture.

Drawing on insights from psychology, anthropology, literature, and neuroscience, he traces how our hunter-gatherer ancestors' brains were rewired by prey and predators, and how later thinkers used animals to assert human supremacy.

The book reveals what it means to be both human and animal, urging greater attention to the beings we share our world with.
