Meanwhile, we're in the midst of the worldwide right-wing populist uprising which has led governments around the world to treat desperate refugees like nonhuman scum; turning them away by the boatload in Europe; imprisoning them on a godforsaken remote island in Australia; tearing children from their parents and caging them in America.

Religions, like other social phenomena, emerge from their environments, and screen and digital environments are producing new forms of religious beliefs—from the religion of Jediism (based on the Jedi code from Star Wars) to a spirituality coalescing around the idea that advanced nonhuman extraterrestrial life is engaged in communication with humans.

But I've also come to see substantial merit in the emerging concept of nonhuman personhood, having worked with Pace University students and faculty members in trying to pass legislation in New York banning circuses from using elephants, and absorbing much about animals' feelings and rights from writers and scientists like Carl Safina.

It is well past time that Representative Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican, and Senator Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, chairmen of the N.I.H. appropriations subcommittees in the House and the Senate, respectively, stop catering to special interests and request a formal National Academy of Medicine investigation into the necessity of nonhuman primate research.

On this episode of Tell Me Something I Don't Know, you'll find out the answer, and you'll hear other tales from the natural world, including stories about marine animals that will either live forever or kill you, nonhuman creatures showing up in human courts of law, and the wonders of poop soup.

Moving between East and West, human and nonhuman, science and speculative fiction, the exhibition considers how we are all connected, not just by global art, climate change and political upheaval, but also in ancient concepts like Buddhist reincarnation, which suggests life as a river of spirits where the past, present and future commingle.

Dispatches on the odd behaviors of the nonhuman animals with which we share the planet have been some of our most popular with readers, with the "decorous" cows of Cambridge, England, and the wild and crazy oysters of Croatia two personal favorites (though those ostensibly despondent dogs drew a much larger, if more uneasy, audience).

The other was the Children of the Forest (perhaps glimpsed at the end of season four rescuing Bran and Hodor), a nonhuman race who originally warred with the First Men, and from whom the First Men learned about the godswoods and heart trees that are the center of the worship of the Old Gods.

"A nonhuman animal that does not choose to smoke and is forced to live in a controlled, sterile and highly stressful captive environment is incredibly unlikely to adequately inform questions about the complex behavior of human smokers who have considerably more complex brain functioning and live in a much more complex world," they wrote.

Perhaps this revised language will allow us to see the planet not as a video-game landscape, programmed by God, that we've been dropped into and can either preserve or destroy, but as a bustling world of colleagues, both human and nonhuman, animate and inanimate, over whom we have influence, but who also influence us.

The cow (identified in the end credits as Evie) may be the only bovine in the territory, but she is part of a nonhuman cast that includes at least one owl, an assortment of very good dogs, an apparently tame crow and a typically amoral cat whose mischief kicks the plot toward its climax.

The current hepatitis A vaccine recommendation includes these at-risk groups: travelers, men who have sex with men, users of drugs, people with clotting-factor disorders, those who work with nonhuman primates, people who anticipate a close personal contact with an international adoptee from a hepatitis A endemic country, and people with chronic liver disease.

"They used to bark at me when I walked into the courtroom," lawyer Steven Wise said in the Sundance …Read more ReadEfforts also exist both in the United States and elsewhere to grant personhood rights to certain nonhuman animals, such as great apes, elephants, whales, and dolphins, to protect them against such things as undue confinement, experimentation, and abuse.

Rather than accept that our collective best interests require a longer view, one that takes account of the physical realities of the nonhuman world, and that this might require of us some effort of one kind or another -- it is very tempting to ask why the state can't solve the problem for us by bombing someone or something.

So on the other hand, what one wants to do is to find a way of valuing nonhuman life not because it is some diminished or second-class form of the human, but because the diversity and abundance of life is to be valued for what it is in its own right, in its difference and uniqueness.

Like other species, insects are responding to what Chris Thomas, an insect ecologist at the University of York, has called "the transformation of the world": not just a changing climate but also the widespread conversion, via urbanization, agricultural intensification and so on, of natural spaces into human ones, with fewer and fewer resources "left over" for nonhuman creatures to live on.

I don't think it's speciesism to say, for instance, that killing a human being who wants to go on living, who has plans for the future, who's aware of his or her future, is the same as killing a nonhuman animal who isn't capable and doesn't have the cognitive capacities to think about what they're going to do in the distant future.

The real people are people whose origin story is tied to the meeting with a sacred being that is a manifestation of the land itself, and it's in this meeting that they're given their original instructions on how to have a respectful relationship with the earth, with the land, with the people on it, with the other people, the nonhuman people.

Films and TV shows like Blade Runner, Humans, and Westworld, where highly advanced robots have no…Read more ReadBy willingly and knowingly granting personhood status to entities that aren't actually persons, we're both diminishing what it means to be a person and ignoring living entities who are truly deserving of personhood status, namely nonhuman animals such as whales, dolphins, elephants, and other highly sapient creatures.

"And if we didn't get quite enough Shogun World (or other worlds/parks for that matter) for my taste, the third season sets up a blueprint that would allow Dolores, Bernard and Charlotte — or at least the nonhuman version of Charlotte — to live in the real world, expand the number of hosts who will exist beyond the walls and, at the same time, keep those left behind (or dead) in the parks relevant."

As I drifted further and further into my quarantined stupor, my attempts to read anything became ridiculous, often resulting in a book held diagonally in a trembling hand, examined with one eye squinted and the other shut, until I eventually added the reading of books to the many other higher order activities that had once separated me from the rest of the nonhuman animal kingdom and that I could no longer reliably perform.

I felt Eco-Visionaries was missing embodied, hands-on explorations of ecology and open-ended inquiries into cross-species experiences — for instance, collaborative experiments such as "Golden Snail Opera: The More-than-Human Performance of Friendly Farming on Taiwan's Lanyang Plain" (2017) by Yen-Ling Tsai, Isabelle Carbonell, Joelle Chevrier, and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing; Anais Tondeur's work with philosopher Michael Marder exploring plant consciousness; or Marcus Coates's respectful inhabiting of nonhuman viewpoints in his performance pieces.
