Krátky popis
Why do humans love animals? The bestselling author of In Defence of
Dogs and Cat Sense gives us the answers. Keeping pets is expensive,
time-consuming, and seemingly irrational - so why do so many of us
have an animal in our lives? Modern-day pet-keeping has been
justified for many reasons, from the potential therapeutic role
pets can play, to their appealing 'cuteness'. But pet-keeping is
much more than just a simple pastime. It is part of the broader
history of humanity's relationship with animals - a relationship
that comes from deep within our nature. As John Bradshaw reveals in
this highly original new work, our connection with animals is one
of the very things that makes us human. In The Animals Among Us,
Bradshaw takes us to the heart of Anthrozoology, a new science
dedicated to discovering the true nature and depth of the
human-animal bond. Following the thread of our affection for
animals, from today's pet lovers all the way back to our ancient
ancestors, Bradshaw reveals how animals have always been an
integral part of our lives: indeed, they have shaped the evolution
of our minds and our bodies. The ways in which we relate to animals
today stem ultimately from our evolutionary journey from hominid to
Homo sapiens. An affinity for animals drove our evolution as
humans. Now, as increasing numbers of species are under threat,
John Bradshaw shows us that pet-keeping can act as a bridge between
the domestic and the wild, even aiding conservation. If we lose the
animals among us, he warns, we risk losing an essential part of
ourselves.
