What is Animals and Science: A Guide to the Debates (Controversies in Science) about?
__Animals and Science__ examines what science has (and has not) taught us about the nature of nonhuman animals and explores the moral, religious, social, and scientific implications of those teachings. It shows how the scientific study of animals, especially their cognitive abilities, has transformed our understanding of them. __Animals and Science__ traces our evolving understanding of animal pain and considers its moral relevance to humans. It discusses Darwin's belief-shattering notion that species differences are not absolute, then traces its impact to the present day. Ultimately, __Animals and Science__ is about the nature of science—the kinds of questions science can and cannot answer, and the role of theory in shaping the interpretation of evidence.
