Description

Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health A groundbreaking exploration of the surprising similarities between animal and human health, revealing how the natural world can inform our understanding of the human body and mind. When a cardiologist consulted with a monkey at the Los Angeles Zoo, she was struck by the striking similarities between the animal's symptoms and those of human patients with heart failure. This unexpected discovery sparked a journey of informal research, as the doctor sought to understand whether other human afflictions were mirrored in the animal kingdom. The results were astonishing: from brain cancer in dinosaurs to clinical depression in gorillas, the connections between animal and human health are more profound than previously thought. This book, written by cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers, introduces the concept of zoobiquity - a pan-species approach to medicine that challenges our conventional understanding of health and disease.
