Animals, & our ever-changing relationship with them, have left an indelible mark on human history. From the dawn of our existence, animals & humans have been constantly redefining their relationship with one another, & entire civilizations have risen & fallen upon this curious bond we share with our fellow fauna. Brian Fagan unfolds this fascinating story from the first wolf who wandered into our prehistoric ancestors’ camp & found companionship, to empires built on the backs of horses, donkeys, & camels, to the industrial age when some animals became commodities, often brutally exploited, & others became pets, nurtured & pampered, sometimes to absurd extremes.Through an in-depth analysis of six truly transformative human-animal relationships, Fagan shows how our habits & our very way of life were considerably & irreversibly altered by our intimate bond with animals. Among other stories, Fagan explores how herding changed human behavior; how the humble donkey helped launch the process of globalization; & how the horse carried a hearty band of nomads across the world & toppled the emperor of China.With characteristic care & penetrating insight, Fagan reveals the profound influence that animals have exercised on human history & how, in fact, they often drove it.Brian Fagan is emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of California–Santa Barbara. Born in England, he did fieldwork in Africa & has written about North American & world archaeology & many other topics. His books on the interaction of climate & human society have established him as the leading authority on the subject; he lectures frequently around the world. He is the editor of The Oxford Companion to Archaeology & the author of The Attacking Ocean, Beyond the Blue Horizon, Elixir, Cro-Magnon, The Great Warming, Fish on Friday, The Little Ice Age, & The Long Summer, among many other titles.
