This month’s read promises to get some feathers ruffled. (Sorry—we couldn’t resist.) Author Antone Martinho-Truswell, an evolutionary biologist, author, and member of the Sydney Policy Lab and the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, delivers a fascinating and compelling look at the similarities between humans and birds. Yes, birds. Intrigued? Get the book then join in what will undoubtedly be a lively conversation about a fascinating idea.

From the publisher’s website:

“Antone Martinho-Truswell explores the surprising similarities between human behaviour, social interaction, and the lives of birds, and what has led to these similarities by way of convergent evolution. Arguing that we can learn a great deal about ourselves by thinking of the human species as ‘the bird without feathers.’”
