vi bliver fuldt ud mennesker, når vi favner vores dyriske slægtninge i og udenfor os selv
Darcia Narvaez og G. A. Bradshaw viser hvordan vi ved at erkende vores dyriskhed og vores slægtskab med alle menneskelige og ikke-menneskelige arter kan finde frem til den naturforbundne livsform der kan genopbygge og genforbinde os med vores planet.
