Summary "The Universal Kinship" by J. Howard Moore is a scientific exploration written in the early 20th century. The work presents a thesis advocating for the interconnectedness of all life on Earth, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between humans and other animals. It challenges the traditional notion of man's superiority, arguing instead for a shared kinship that spans all forms of life. The beginning of the work introduces the foundation of Moore's argument by discussing man's classification as an animal and a vertebrate. He reflects on his earlier educational experiences, revealing a gradual realization of humanity's true place within the animal kingdom. This opening portion sets the stage for Moore's exploration of various aspects of physical kinship, highlighting the biological similarities between humans and other species while criticizing the enduring biases that separate humanity from the rest of nature. The narrative is filled with both personal reflection and scientific inquiry, paving the way for a deeper examination of ethical and psychical connections among all living beings.
