On this episode of Big Blend Radio, author Christopher Lloyd discusses his new book, "Humanimal: Incredible Ways Animals Are Just Like Us." This book shows the inextricable interconnections of the human and animal worlds in ways you never before imagined... Inside you will discover how “slime molds” can solve how to navigate through a maze; how rats tickle and laugh out loud; how elephants have funerals for their lost loved ones; how bees vote in elections to decide where to locate their nests; how crows use cars to crack nuts and a whole lot more! Lloyd began his career as a journalist with The Sunday Times newspaper in the U.K.. Then, while camping with his family, he had a critical realisation: even with a 1st class degree in history from Cambridge University, and experience as a science writer, there was so much about the world he didn't know. So, he set out to write books that zoom out and tell the big stories, opening readers' eyes to how seemingly unrelated events fit together and showing them multiple perspectives on the world, all in highly engaging prose and matched with lively illustration and photography. Featured music on this episode is "Uncle Remus Tales" By the Tall Men Group. Thank you to our sponsor fine art nature photographer Margot Carrera.
