Course Description
Overview
Explore the emerging field of zoobiquity in this 53-minute talk from The Aspen Institute. Discover how the biological and emotional patterns of other mammals, including cancer in golden retrievers, high blood pressure in pregnant giraffes, insect social behavior, and elephant social connections, can provide valuable insights into human health. Learn about the interdisciplinary approach that combines evolutionary biology, animal behavior, ecology, and medicine to foster collaborations between human and veterinary medical professionals, advancing cross-field learning and potentially improving our understanding of our own health as animals ourselves.
