An Ecology of Life

Is there truly a difference between nature and culture? What does our relationship with animals reveal about our own humanity? After centuries of perceiving humanity as somehow separate from the world, what would it mean to return to it? For Tim Ingold, anthropology is not about collecting data on human societies and cultures. Rather, it is about engaging in the lives of others to explore the possibilities of life on this world.
