Russell, Nerissa, "Navigating the Human-Animal Boundary." Reviews in Anthropology
Abstract: Animals have long figured in anthropology, but human-animal relations have come into focus in recent decades. The topic links anthropology's sub-disciplines by exploring the biological and cultural nature of both humans and animals in the past and present, as well as articulating with some similar concerns in other disciplines. While anthropology is defined in terms of the separation of humans from animals, this explanation exposes the permiability of the human-animal boundary, transcended by thinking animals, bestial anscestors, and transpecies empathy.
