True, humans are unique and fundamentally distinct. We have consciousness and free will, a state of mind, written and spoken languages, the capacity to make tools, and to build cities and machines. We are in many ways different from the non-human world. But how did we become what we are? In the last three million years of evolution, we have been deeply influenced by the natural world around us-especially animals. The observation, emulation, domestication, and exploitation of animals shaped our mental, as well our physical, evolution. Hidden in full view, the animal\/human connection was and is rooted in every aspect of our life. \u003cem\u003eAnimals Made Us Human\u003c\/em\u003e explores the impact that animals have had, either directly or accidentally, on the humanity's journey from our distant progenitor Australopithecus afarensis, to the Anthropocene-the current era dominated by the impact of our species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Tarello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1662968760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662968761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gatekeeper Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Walter Tarello","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48852820099327,"sku":"9781662968761","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animals-made-us-human-walter-tarello-9781662968761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
