Ever glanced at your cat and wondered if they were plotting something? Or passed a car and thought it seemed 'friendly', 'surprised' - or 'angry' - depending on the shape of its headlights?
A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Illuminating and lively.' - Guardian, Book of the Day
Anthropomorphism – the irresistible desire to apply human characteristics to animals, natural phenomena and even inanimate objects – is as natural as breathing.
And it gets weirder… Million-dollar industries have sprung up to provide 'cosmetic enhancements' - for dogs who've had the snip – their (inevitably male) owners wracked with guilt that their pets might be missing out on… something. Similarly, Justin Gregg, a researcher with the Dolphin Communication Project, regularly receives emails from mothers-to-be convinced that dolphins would make excellent midwives (spoiler alert: they definitely wouldn't).
Diving into the strange way anthropomorphism shapes our understanding of the world, Gregg offers an eye-opening journey through human perception. From cinema's obsession with talking animals to the way we interact with our soon-to-be robot overlords, Humanish takes a hilarious journey through the strange world of anthropomorphism and explores what it reveals about this weird and wonderful bias within us all.

'Humanish taught me a lot. Thanks to the jokes, I barely even realized I was being educated. Neat trick.' - Peter Watts, Hugo Award-winning author of Blindsight
