Meet the Neighbors

Animal Minds and Life in a More-than-Human World
What does the science of animal intelligence mean for how we understand and live with the wild creatures around us?
Honeybees deliberate democratically. Rats reflect on the past. Snakes have friends. In recent decades, our understanding of animal intelligence has exploded—but the way we relate to wild animals has yet to catch up. In Meet the Neighbors, Brandon Keim asks what it would mean to take the minds of other animals seriously.Science shows that the creatures who share our everyday landscapes are thinking, feeling individuals. Should we then see them as fellow persons, even citizens? Weaving in the latest research, Brandon Keim takes us into diverse environments to meet the philosophers, rogue pest controllers, ecologists, wildlife doctors and others who are reimagining our relationships to animals and to nature. A beguiling invitation to discover an expanded sense of community and kinship beyond our own species, Meet the Neighbors opens our eyes to the world of vibrant intelligence just outside our doors.
