June 2013Animal irrationale
Eine kurze (Natur-)Geschichte der Unvernunft
by Franz M. Wuketits
Der Mensch ist das mit Vernunft begabte Lebewesen, das animal rationale. So will es die philosophische Überlieferung. Geschichte und Gegenwart des Menschen legen jedoch die Vermutung nahe, dass in seinem Denken und Handeln mehr Unvernunft steckt, als ihm selbst lieb sein kann. Zwei Weltkriege und unzählige andere (menschliche) Katastrophen sowie die massive Zerstörung seines Lebensraums lassen den Menschen als »animal irrationale« erscheinen. Der Evolutionstheoretiker Franz M. Wuketits spürt die (natur-)historischen Wurzeln der Unvernunft auf und kommt zu dem Schluss, dass jene Portion Irrationalität, die sich der Steinzeitmensch leisten durfte, seinen Nachfahren in unserer komplexen Welt immer wieder zum Verhängnis wird.

Species stories and the animal sciences
by Mariam Motamedi Fraser
Do dogs belong with humans? Scientific accounts of dogs' 'species story,' in which contemporary dog-human relations are naturalised with reference to dogs' evolutionary becoming, suggest that they do. Dog politics dissects this story. This book offers a rich empirical analysis and critique of the development and consolidation of dogs' species story in science, asking what evidence exists to support it, and what practical consequences, for dogs, follow from it. It explores how this story is woven into broader scientific shifts in understandings of species, animals, and animal behaviours, and how such shifts were informed by and informed transformative political events, including slavery and colonialism, the Second World War and its aftermath, and the emergence of anti-racist movements in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book pays particular attention to how species-thinking bears on 'race,' racism, and individuals.

2020How Animals Hammer, Drill and Strike
Tool Use in the Animal Kingdom
by Peter-René Becker
From insects to fish as well as birds and primates: the use of tools is amazingly widespread in the animal kingdom. It’s a misnomer to presume that humans are distinguished by tool use and conscious capacity. So where is culture initiated? The biologist Peter-René Becker has evaluated numerous studies and cites plenty of evidence for the use of the hammer and anvil, lances, bait or sponges. Animals also use “tools as social implements”. Ultimately, the depth of man’s conscience singles him out from other animals.
