Key Insights from Zoobiquity

  • The book emphasizes the interconnectedness of human and animal health, suggesting that studying animal biology can provide valuable insights into human disease and preventive medicine. This cross-species perspective encourages a broader understanding of health and illness that transcends traditional medical boundaries.
  • Natterson-Horowitz and Bowers argue that many diseases in animals mirror those in humans, highlighting the evolutionary roots of certain health issues. By examining these parallels, we can improve treatment strategies and enhance our understanding of both human and veterinary medicine.
