Humans have long designated themselves "the measure of all things," proclaiming themselves the most intelligent, moral, and capable species on Earth. As a result, they have turned nature into a commodity, a mere resource. It is this belief in human superiority that underlies the current environmental crisis. Primatologist Christine Webb, who has dedicated years to studying the rich social, emotional, and cognitive lives of our closest living relatives, comprehensively explores the phenomenon of anthropocentrism. She demonstrates that human exceptionalism is a myth, based more on human culture than on our biology, more on misconceptions than on scientific evidence, and she points to a more sensible approach to nature and ourselves. The "arrogant ape" is merely a mask that must be consciously discarded.
