Humanity and animals have had a long history together, but what have been the consequences of that relationship for both sides? Maybe you think animals have had a great impact or a negligible one. Speculate about how things have developed or could have developed differently or, really, whatever comes to mind. Some ideas you may want to bring up:
- Changes to animal intelligence and behavior / domestication and "natural" vs. "artificial" arguments
- People's view of the natural world / how animals influence the way people look at the environment
- Influences animals have/had on human cultural/psychological/technological development
- The division between human and animal
- Ethical issues such as the morality of keeping pets and animal captivity/experimentation
- Future developments for the human-animal relationship / human-driven animal extinction
