a must 108

as for "animal liberation," Singer, or "animal origins of culture", of which I forget (sorry), this book should be mandatory for any student of science as social studies or of any adult , in fact.
If Singer takes sides - the basis for this on a very pragmatic ethics and logic, if "the origins ..." is sometimes a bit confusing and wordy, here we have a sum of scientific information to better understand what we are the other animals, and realize that they are feeling beings, communicating, able to organize, anticipate a future, build, lying, marking etc., in short, to understand everything they share with us.
A book that makes us our place in human, opening our minds and allows us to get out of anthropocentrism to better respect other living beings with whom we share - unfortunately badly - this planet.
