Christine Webb

Christine Webb, a primatologist at Harvard University and author of 'The Arrogant Ape', challenges the idea of human superiority over nature. She discusses how our belief in exceptionalism fuels ecological crises and reveals that children inherently connect with the natural world before societal conditioning sets in. Exploring the legacy of Cartesian thought, she critiques outdated views on animal consciousness and advocates for deeper connections with non-human beings, highlighting their emotional healing power. A thought-provoking call to rethink our relationship with all living creatures!
