Did you know? A powerful paradigm in western anthropology and philosophy called Human Exceptionalism divides humans from animals based on humans' perceived unique mental capacities, rather than connecting them through clear shared features as physical beings existing on the same planet. This makes it easy to forget that humans are also animals positioned on the food chain. Many cultures around the world do not share this viewpoint and modern scientific research is challenging this idea by revealing the complex ways various animals live and think.
