Eduardo Kohn

Eduardo Kohn is an anthropologist and researcher known for studying how animals, especially primates, perceive and interpret their worlds. His work explores the idea that non-human animals have their own ways of understanding symbols, culture, and communication, much like humans do. Kohn's research sheds light on the relationships between humans, animals, and their environments, emphasizing that animals are active participants in their ecosystems with rich, meaningful lives. His approach challenges traditional views by highlighting the cognitive complexity of animals and how their perceptions influence ecological and social interactions.
