Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being
Human
Sinopsis :
Concerns about the recent explosions of diseases like HIV, the
West Nile Virus, and other avian and swine flus that originate
in animals have encouraged new efforts on a global scale to
bridge the gap between animal and human medicine for the
benefit of both. Zoobiquity is the first book to explore many of
the human and animal health issues that overlap and provides
new insight into the treatment of many diseases including
diabetes, cancer, heart disease and mental illness. But
Zoobiquity is even bigger than health and academic medicine,
and encompasses much more than our diseases and how to

cure them. It sheds light on the evolution of hierarchies and
similarities between a tribe of apes and a Fortune 500
company. It suggests that the ways we run our political and
justice systems may overlap with how animals protect and
defend their territories - and that examining this possibility in a
scientifically credible way could help strengthen our
institutions. It dangles the possibility that human parenting
could be informed by a greater knowledge and respect for how
our animal cousins solve issues of childcare, sibling rivalry and
infertility.
