"The Mark of the Beast" historically and critically examines the
dire affects of the process of animalization on both humans and
animals. Roberts provides a general account of the theoretical
division between humans and animals begun largely in the work of
Aristotle and continued in that of Descartes and Kant. Following
the philosophical provenance of the idea of ???animality, ???
Roberts explores the practical and "scientific" uses of this idea,
focusing largely on what Stephen J. Gould terms the
"biodeterministic tradition" by evaluating the primarily ninteenth
century theories of atavism, craniology, recapitulation, and so on,
while also exploring the use of medical and psychological
techniques of animalization
