In this episode, I speak with primatologist and author @cwebb218 about human exceptionalism – the deeply embedded belief that humans are separate from and superior to the rest of nature.

Christine Webb's provocative and moving book The Arrogant Ape explores our unjustifiable sense of superiority in the living world, laying out the evidence against it, says Elle Hunt newscientist.com/article/mg2…
I witness my students undergo major transformations as they learn to see past the basic ways their sense of the world has been framed by human exceptionalism. (1/2)
