El animal que somos

The Animal We Are is a gripping story of what it means to be human and argues that at the heart of our psychology there is a deep struggle with being an animal. In addition to piecing together the mystery of how this psychology evolved, the book examines the ways it affects our lives, from our politics to the ways we distance ourselves from other species. The book travels from the origins of Homo Sapiens through the agrarian and industrial revolutions, the Internet age, and into the future of artificial intelligence and the human-machine interface. Examine how technology influences our sense of our own animal nature and our relationship with the other species with which we share this fragile planet. Drawing on new evidence from a wide range of disciplines, Challenger proposes that being an animal is a process, beautiful and unpredictable, and that we have the opportunity to tell a new story about what it means to be ourselves.
