The New Anthropomorphism

This book provides evidence that anthropomorphism (the assumption that animals think and feel as we do) still haunts the study of animal behaviour.

Zusammenfassung
In this 1992 book, John Kennedy's point is that explicit anthropomorphism was well-nigh killed by fierce criticism from the radical Behaviourists, but that we have to recognize that today there is a new anthropomorphism which is much harder to avoid because it is unintended and largely unconscious.
