The Arrogant Ape by Christine E. Webb
The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters
The Arrogant Ape challenges the idea of human exceptionalism, arguing it’s a cultural belief rather than a biological fact. Drawing on primatology and research across animals, plants, and fungi, Christine E. Webb highlights the social, emotional, and cognitive complexity of other species, critiques biases in scientific study, and suggests that recognizing nonhuman lives on their own terms can deepen our sense of belonging and promote more sustainable ways of living.
