    The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

    In Feminism in the Wild, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful. How can animal behavior science escape this trap of naturalizing dominant culture? 
 
 
 
Drawing from decades of feminist, antiracist, queer, disability justice, and Marxist contributions—including those of biologists—Kamath and Packer break down persistent assumptions in the status quo of animal behavior science and offer a multitude of alternative approaches. Core concepts in animal behavior science and evolutionary biology are carefully contextualized and critically reexamined. This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist and a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating and hopeful book for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, and anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression.
