From birding with my father as a young boy to doing research in the Smithsonian’s Invertebrate Zoology Laboratory years later (before heading off to college), I have always been fascinated and amazed by the diversity of life on this planet.
Yet, when push comes to shove, I find it very hard to shake my anthropocentrism. As a human, I feel very special, indeed. And all around me there seems to be evidence to prove my special status: skyscrapers, airplanes, televisions, poetry, and music!
Though I wish it were otherwise, it really takes something unique to break me from the myth of human exceptionalism.
Well, here is just such a video.
I highly encourage you to watch it all the way through.
