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.

As the wool is pulled from their eyes, they come to experience Nature as more alive, animate, and aware. Life and our relationship with the world is never the same. My students’ experiences and my own have encouraged me to collect these ideas in THE ARROGANT APE. (2/2)

Why do we still think we're the goal of evolution?
It's a good question, answered by my podcast guest this week, Harvard primatologist Christine Webb @cwebb218 and explored more deeply in her fabulous new book The Arrogant Ape (what, us?!)
