Book Summary
Ever glanced at your cat and wondered if they were plotting something? Or passed a car and thought it seemed โfriendlyโ, โsurprisedโ or โangryโ depending on the shape of its headlights? Anthropomorphism โ the irresistible desire to apply human characteristics to animals, natural phenomena and even inanimate objects โ is as natural as breathing. And it gets weirderโฆ Million-dollar industries have sprung up to provide โcosmetic enhancementsโ for dogs whoโve had the snip โ their (inevitably male) owners wracked with guilt that their pets might be missing out onโฆsomething. Similarly, Justin Gregg, a researcher with the Dolphin Communication Project, regularly receives emails from mothers-to-be convinced that dolphins would make excellent midwives (spoiler alert: they definitely wouldnโt). Diving into the strange way anthropomorphism shapes our understanding of the world, Gregg offers an eye-opening, humorous journey through human perception. From cinemaโs obsession with talking animals to the way we interact with our soon-to-be robot overlords, Humanish takes an eye-opening journey through the strange world of anthropomorphism and explores what it reveals about this weird and wonderful bias within us all.
