Haraway's Apes

Haraway's "Apes" refers to a metaphor from Donna Haraway's work that highlights the interconnectedness between humans and non-human primates, emphasizing shared evolutionary history, biology, and social behavior. It challenges strict distinctions between humans and animals, encouraging us to see ourselves as part of a continuous web of life. Haraway uses apes to illustrate how our identities, technologies, and cultures are intertwined with other species, advocating for a more ethical and hybrid understanding of life that transcends conventional boundaries between humans and animals.
