Webb, Christine E.2025
Books
In 'The Arrogant Ape', leading primatologist Christine Webb challenges our belief in human superiority by revealing underappreciated wonders of nonhuman life - from the language of songbirds and prairie dogs, to the cultures of chimpanzees and reef fishes, to the acumen of plants and fungi. With fresh research into the rich social, emotional and cognitive lives of animals, and compelling stories from all over the world, the book demonstrates how our belief in our own importance is directly linked to our some of the greatest threats against us and our environment - and offers a hopeful, inspiring way forwards. By radically altering our understanding of our place in the universe, and by looking anew at other organisms - and ourselves - we can heal and rejuvenate our shared planet.
