Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human

"In 2005, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz started researching her patients' afllictions to find out if other animals were also affected. Astonishingly, she discovered that animals to indeed faint, overeat, and get cancers, just as we do, although doctors and veterinarians often treated similar conditions in vastly different ways. Perhaps healthcare would improve if the two disciplines shared new discoveries and tools? The authors dubbed this pan-species approach to medicine zoobiquity. With this revelatory understanding of what animals can teach us about ourselves, they explore how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients lf all species."--Page 4 of cover.
