One of the world's most prominent researchers explores the overwhelming evidence for animal emotions and how they should affect our relationship with our animal kin. Here Bekoff skillfully blends extraordinary stories and anecdotes of animal grief, joy, embarrassment, anger and love with the latest scientific research confirming emotions that simple, common-sense observation has long pointed to. Bekoff explores the evolutionary purposes of emotions, how science is discovering brain structures that produce those emotions, how we can track an evolutionary continuum based on shared brain structures between species, as well as new information being revealed by now non-invasive neurological research techniques. The Emotional Lives of Animals will cause readers to reassess both how they view animals and how they treat them.
