Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Janet Blenkinship and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Human Side of Animals" by Royal Dixon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the emotional and intellectual lives of animals, arguing against the notion that they are merely driven by instinct. Through various observations and anecdotes, Dixon aims to illuminate the similarities between human and animal experiences, emphasizing the rich inner lives of animals. The opening of the book presents a foreword where Dixon sets the stage for his exploration of the human-like qualities of animals. He calls for a shift in perception, proposing that just as humans have emotions and social connections, so do animals. Through a reflective and philosophical lens, the author invites readers to consider the affection, grief, and intelligence exhibited by various animal species, thereby challenging traditional scientific views that often dismiss animal experiences as mere instinct. The initial chapter introduces the concept of camouflage, illustrating how animals have evolved extraordinary means of blending into their environments, which both protects them from predators and aids them in hunting, further emphasizing their complex relationship with nature.
