The Arrogant Ape

In 'The Arrogant Ape,' Christine Webb dissects the pervasive myth of human exceptionalism, arguing that this belief is a root cause of the ecological crisis.

The book challenges the notion that humans are inherently superior to other species, examining how this mindset influences our treatment of the environment.

Webb explores how human exceptionalism manifests in various aspects of society, from cultural norms to scientific perspectives.

She investigates the origins of this belief, tracing its development from childhood to adulthood.

By dismantling the foundations of human exceptionalism, Webb encourages readers to reconsider their relationship with the natural world and to embrace a more interconnected and sustainable way of living.
