In Beast: The Curious Science of Human-Animal Coexistence, we step outside our sensory and cultural biases to explore the deeply entangled, messy, and marvelous connection between humans and other animals. Together, we examine how our biases have limited our scientific understanding of the natural world and will discover that animals are not passive backdrops to the human story, but active architects of it. From the opportunistic urban wildlife adapting to our concrete landscapes to the evolutionary handshake of domestication, humans and animals are continuously shaping each other's survival. Ultimately, we will ask: once humans strip away our preconceptions and learn to appreciate the brilliance of other species, how do we stop trying to control nature and learn to become better neighbors in this immense, shared world?
