It's my first time reading a National Geographic, I was expecting more. This is meant for a larger public and that's fine. There were interesting parts but they barely scratch the surface and then on to the next subject, leaving me wanting more on the datas and sources of the research they talk about. Maybe I'm asking for too much. What did I expect, that a magazine would unlock all the knowledge on the animal kingdom for me!? Lol
Here is my favorite quote from this issue:
"What "makes us human" is usually framed as both what's important to us and what makes us different. It's an odd habit, as if our species-level sense of self-worth is tied up in what separates us from other animals rather than something we might share. Many such traits have been suggested and then challenged, including language, empathy, culture, and collaboration."

I really enjoyed this however it barely scratches the surface. Just when you get really interested something, on to the next topic. I had read of most of the cases/examples discussed but not all.

This beginning two chapters are extremely interesting but the book looses it's tone about halfway through
