How rethinking our relationships with other species can help us
reimagine the future of humankind In the woodlands of sub-Saharan
Africa, sometime deep in our species' past, something strange
happened: a bird called out, not to warn others of human presence,
but to call attention to herself. Having found a beehive, that
bird-a honeyguide-sought human aid to break in. The behavior can
seem almost miraculous: How would a bird come to think that people
could help her? Isn't life simply bloodier than that? As Rob Dunn
argues in The Call of the Honeyguide, it isn't.Nature is red in
tooth and claw, but in equal measure, life works together. Cells
host even smaller life, wrapped in a web of mutual interdependence.
Ants might go to war, but they also tend fungi, aphids, and even
trees.And we humans work not just with honeyguides but with yeast,
crops, and pets. Ecologists call these beneficial relationships
mutualisms. And they might be the most important forces in the
evolution of life.We humans often act as though we are all alone,
independent from the rest of life. As The Call of the Honeyguide
shows, we are not. It is a call to action for a more beneficent,
less lonely future.
