Description
Humans are one of the most complex and intriguing species on the planet. But how well do we truly understand ourselves? In "How to Be Animal", Melanie Challenger explores this question, arguing that our psychology is rooted in a fundamental struggle with being animal. The book takes us on a journey through time, from the origins of Homo sapiens to the impact of technology on our sense of self and our relationship with other species. Along the way, we examine how our understanding of ourselves has evolved over time, influenced by major changes such as the agrarian and industrial revolutions, the age of the internet, and the rise of AI. By tracing this journey, Challenger sheds new light on what it means to be human, and how our animal nature shapes our lives in profound ways.
