The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters Human arrogance, our sense of exceptionalism over every other species, is responsible for many harms, notably the climate crisis. We have always believed our mission is to conquer nature, an unfortunate attitude for earthโ€™s inhabitants. Why have we been inculcated into a human/animal divide that elevates our minds, consciousness, and emotions over theirs? In The Arrogant Ape, primatologist Christine Webb offers encyclopedic coverage of these and more subjects in a fast-moving, enjoyable book.

@bsky.app The Arrogant Ape by Christine Webb, reviewed by yours truly on Leonardo. leonardo.info/review/2025/...
