Finding Our Humanity: Book Synopsis

In Finding Our Humanity Leif Cocks shares an uncommon journey into what the great apes, our tribal past and a more philosophical approach to life can teach us about our humanity. With insights into the evolution of the ape-human mind and our shared natural and cultural histories, the book combines a compelling blend of science, philosophy and the intriguing real life stories of both ape and human beings. Fascinating and enlightening, Finding Our Humanity points to the practical ways we, as individuals and collectively, can transcend our biological and cultural histories to create a higher understanding, happiness and connection with nature. Perhaps just as importantly, it offers us an open invitation to expand the boundaries of our current understanding of what humanity is and may just change the way you see, think and act in the world forever.
