Episode: The Most Dangerous Animal on Earth? The One That Forgot It’s an Animal.
Description: You’ve probably been taught to believe you’re better than other animals. But that story is wrong, and it’s dangerous. NYU primatologist Christine Webb argues that human exceptionalism has blinded us to the intelligence all around us, and it’s fueling today’s biggest crises, from climate change to mass extinction. In her new book, The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters, Christine makes the case that humility —not hubris — may be our species’ best survival strategy.
