A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2020"In this superbly articulate cri de coeur, Safina gives us a new way of looking at the natural world that is radically different."The Washington PostNew York Times bestselling author Carl Safina brings readers close to three nonhuman cultureswhat they do, why they do it, and how life is for them.A New York Times Notable Books of 2020Some believe that culture is strictly a human phenomenon. But this book reveals cultures of otherthanhuman beings in some of Earths remaining wild places. It shows how if youre a sperm whale, a scarlet macaw, or a chimpanzee, you too come to understand yourself as an individual within a particular community that does things in specific ways, that has traditions. Alongside genes, culture is a second form of inheritance, passed through generations as pools of learned knowledge. As situations change, social learningcultureallows behaviors to adjust much faster than genes can adapt.Becoming Wild brings readers into intimate proximity with various nonhuman individuals in their freeliving communities. It presents a revelatory account of how animals function beyond our usual view. Safina shows that for nonhumans and humans alike, culture comprises the answers to the question, How do we live here? It unites individuals within a group identity. But cultural groups often seek to avoid, or even be hostile toward, other factions. By showing that this is true across species, Safina illuminates why human cultural tensions remain maddeningly intractable despite the arbitrariness of many of our differences. Becoming Wild takes readers behind the curtain of life on Earth, to witness from a new vantage point the most worldsaving of perceptions: how we are all connected.
